GREATCONTROVERSY.ORG PAUSES TO HONOR A FALLEN BROTHER

Russell R. Standish (1933 - 2008). GreatControversy.org pauses to honor a fallen brother in Christ. Russell Standish was killed in an automobile accident in Australia on May 2. Characteristically, he was enroute to a speaking engagement. Both, Standish and the driver, Cliff Cocks, were killed. Occupants of the other vehicle were injured. Russell is survived by his wife, Glenice, his three sons, Stephen, James, and Timothy, and his twin brother, Colin. Other places, no doubt, will detail the contributions of Russell, including numerous books, many of them cowritten with his brother Colin. One of his most recent contributions was a paper he presented at the 50th Anniversary QOD Conference held at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Let our prayers be for Glenice, Russell’s wife, his brother Colin, and for family members and close friends. In many ways, Russell left that kind of example that can only be explained by a close personal walk with Jesus. —GCO. Published on 2008-05-08 04:53Z
