                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 12, 2023

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
Russell ``Russ'' Raymond Lovell, who died on Friday, June 2nd, 2023. 
Russ was a dear friend who dedicated more than 3 decades to working in 
public safety in Riverside County.
  After high school, Russ joined and served in the United States Coast 
Guard for a number of years. He then took a job working at the 
California Rehabilitation Center in Norco, where he would work for more 
than 30 years. He initially began as a Correctional Guard, but 
eventually migrated into a facilities position and retired as a 
Stationary Engineer. Russ retired from the California Rehabilitation 
Center in 1995. After his retirement, I had the pleasure of having Russ 
work for me.
  Russ grew up in Corona and while working locally he met Carol Lynn 
Nolen in 1952 while working at Cal's Cafe. They eventually married in 
1957 and began to grow their family which would ultimately include 3 
daughters. Russ and Carol shared a love for animals and travel. They 
also had a mutual interest in collecting first edition books and would 
often attend author book signings at bookstores.
  Russ is survived by his daughters, Lisa Lovell, and Leanne Spinale 
and her husband Skip; grandchildren, Jacob Holland and Audrey Spinale; 
as well as other family members and countless friends. He is preceded 
in death by his wife Carol, his daughter Lori Holland, and his 
granddaughter Kelsey Holland. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the 
Lovell family, his friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know Russ. 
Although he may be gone, the many contributions Russ made to his 
community and family will never be forgotten.
