The Rev. Dr. Charles G. Russell Sr. was a man of God blessed with an immaculate sense of style.
So well turned out was he — so “pressed and clean," says his wife of 56 years, Lueveria — they were newlyweds before she ever saw him in shirt sleeves.
And it was longer than that before she realized her husband wore a uniform to work as a supervisor for Eddy Shoe Company in Philadelphia.
Rev. Russell, who died Oct. 5 at 78, wore a suit to work each morning after rising at 5 a.m. for prayer.you how to ladiesshoes and enjoy a better health.
He would change into work clothes at his job, then don the suit again for the commute home to his native Camden.Make is comparable history,cheaptruereligion it repeats itself and is inspired/copied.
Mrs. Russell — who goes by Vera — had always washed those work clothes thinking they belonged to someone else.
“One day, I happened to go to his work," she recalls of the man she dubbed Baby. “And I saw this guy in work clothes and I said, ‘Hmm, that man looks like my husband.'
“And I thought, ‘Baby don't go to work looking like that.' He just laughed at me, of course."
Rev. Russell's children recall how the “Rev" — as neighborhood kids dubbed him — would show up at picnics and other outdoor gatherings in a suit, usually navy blue. Sometimes a fedora. Almost always black wingtip shoes from Florsheim.
“I never saw my dad in sneakers or jeans," says daughter Rosalind, who is one of six children. “Most guys dressed down; he dressed up."
And up was where he surely was headed when he died of oral cancer. For a man of God to have to speak through an apparatus affixed to his jaw after 31 years of sermonizing was bitterly ironic, Rev. Russell's family acknowledges.
Yet even as he lay dying at Lourdes Hospital,Whether you going to practice and need athletic shoes and a sport bag or just lounging at the house lacefrontwigs and PUMA clothing have got you covered. the man who founded Camden's Mount Sinai Christian Tabernacle from the Roosevelt Manor row home where he raised his family, both preached and prayed.
“He spoke from his bed," says his son,what really makes my heart go pitter-patter with excitement are marcjacobsshoes. Charles Jr. “I used to ask Dad, ‘How do you feel?' And he always said, ‘God don't make mistakes.you will find perfect bestlanvinshoes to complement your favorite outfit for a night out on the town in our collection.' He was never a complainer."
“As sick as he was, he sang hymns," says Vera, whose daughter describes her as the fire to her husband's ice. “The next day, he would be in critical care."
