Willard Russell "Russ" Dodd

Willard Russell “Russ” Dodd passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, after a long battle with Parkinsons.

Born February 24, 1936, in Toronto, ON, he was the son of the late Willard and Winnifred (Williams) Dodd.

Russ loved his family dearly and enjoyed family gatherings and special celebrations, especially when the celebrations involved music played by family. He had a lifelong love of cars and golf, and cheering on his teams, the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs.  

We especially want to thank the wonderful home care workers, and VON nurses who were so kind and caring over the past year.

Russ is survived by his wife, Virginia (Warren); daughter, Dana (Shawn) Ryan, Port Hawkesbury; son, Warren (Laura) Dodd, Pontypool, ON; grandchildren, Nicholas and Regan; great-granddaughter Carter; sisters, Lea Hardy and Deanna MacDuff, ON; and daughter-in-law, Shaune Warren.

Besides his parents, Russ was predeceased by son, Glenn Warren.

Cremation has taken place and interment will be held at a later date.

Memorials may be made to a charity of your choice.
