    HAYNESVILLE – Clyde Norman Russell, 72, went home to be with the Lord and Savior, March 3, 2011, at his home with his loving wife, Juanita, and son, Kurt, at his side due to a short battle with lung cancer. He was born October 24, 1938, in LaGrange, the son of Warren P. and Regina (Bishop) Russell.
    Clyde had a great love for the outdoors and felt carefree and relaxed when hunting and fishing. He was a registered Master Guide for over 50 years. He was better known as “Clyde the Guide”.
    Clyde was a long-time truck driver who traveled far and wide. He met and made so many wonderful friends throughout his lifetime. His trucking buddies now have an angel to watch over them when they are on the road.
    Clyde was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and he was rich in the love so many people had for him. To know him was to love him.
    Clyde is survived by his wife of 49 1/2 years Juanita (Gillo) Russell of Haynesville; five daughters, Deborah L. Russell of Houlton, Kelly-Jo Russell of Bass Harbor, Teresa McNinch and her husband, Richard, of Littleton, Loralei Russell of Houlton, Suzette Lord of Houlton; three sons, Kyle Russell and his wife, Tammy, of Presque Isle, Jarret Russell and his wife, Paula, of Hodgdon, and his very “special” son, Kurt A. Russell of Haynesville. Kurt always had the ability to lift daddy’s spirits with his huge smile and big hugs. One brother, Leon Russell of Lincoln; one sister, Linda Russell and her partner, David Clifford, of Enfield; eighteen grand-children, Donald, Shawna, Jennifer, Chris, Jordan, Josh, Jayde, Austin, Brandon, Jarret Jr., Angelina, Kiara, Inacents, Tennile, Jazmine, Joshua, Jeffrey, and Jacob; several great-grandchildren; one brother-in-law, Paul Gillo and his wife, Michele, of Madison, TN.
    A private family gathering will be held at a later date on top of the hill at his favorite camp in Haynesville. Arrangements by Memorial Alternatives, 205 Center St., Bangor.
