Teddy Russell
Born May 23rd ,1957, ·in Princess Anne County
Ted passed away peacefully at his home in Virginia Beach on Tuesday, June 11th, 2020 surrounded by his wife and family and many friends. As we celebrate his life, it is instructive to reflect upon his accomplishments, a boy starting with nothing but a desire to succeed.
Ted always followed his opportunities and persevered until his goals were realized. He utilized his natural talents: his uncommon strength and coordination, and his great interpersonal skills to build a company that provided for him and his family. His empathy with his wonderful and loyal employees at Spring Menders, and his rapport with his customers was created by his uncanny mechanical ability: "If I take it apart I can put it back together again". His skills provided him access to unusual opportunities such as being the mechanical advisor for the movie "Navy Seals" in 1990 when he modified the suspensions of the vehicles to allow for filming on the beaches of Hampton Roads.
Ted was a lifelong Redskin fan --- he even painted his shop burgundy, gold and white. He framed newspaper reports of Redskin victories over Dallas, one of the most heated rivalries in all of sports. Recently, one of his finest moments was the October 2018, 20-17 victory over the Cowboys. We were all there in his living room shouting and unbelieving that such a happy result could occur!
It is hard to review a life and put it into a few paragraphs. Thankfully, hopefully, we only have to do it a few times before someone does it for us. But it is a sad, horribly sad experience to go through.
So good-bye Teddy Russell. Your smile will not grace this shore, but our remembrance always will.
- Russell Family
