In Loving Memory

Belchertown- Russell Gerald Balut, 80, passed away on January 16, 2025 with his family by his side.  Russell was born in Brooklyn, NY and spent his formative years in Adams, MA.

Most recently, Russell worked as a mechanic for the US Postal Service.  Upon his retirement in 2011, he enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, fishing and tinkering with his "inventions".
