Colin James Russell
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Colin James Russell, who passed away on 16th March, aged 75 years, after a long and courageous battle.
Colin was a beloved husband to Jude, a loving dad, and a devoted grandad. Born and bred in Yorkshire, he was a true man’s man — known for his strength, resilience, and unwavering work ethic. He was a hard worker throughout his life and earned the respect of all who knew him.
A good friend to many, Colin will be remembered for his loyalty, warmth, and straight-talking nature. He had a special love for his wagon, which was more than just a job — it was part of who he was.
Colin leaves behind a family who adored him and friends who will miss him deeply. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.
Funeral Service: Friday 1st May at 11:30am at St James Church, Thornton, followed by burial at Thornton Cemetery. Afterwards, the family warmly invite everyone to continue sharing happy memories of Colin — raise a glass, and probably a cigar or two, in his honour at The Rock and Heifer, Rock Lane, Thornton, BD13 3RH.
Forever in our hearts.

Her family meant the world to her, and her happiest times were spent at the many lively family parties, surrounded by laughter, stories, and loved ones, often with her familiar glass of vodka in hand. She also loved a good singalong and was never happier than when everyone joined in together.
Together, Bridie and Alex were well known and respected as the landlords of several public houses around the area of Bradford, where they formed lifelong friendships and became a much-loved part of the local community.
Bridie will be remembered for her warmth, strength, humour and unwavering love for her family. She leaves behind a lifetime of treasured memories and a legacy of togetherness that will live on in all who knew her.
