It is an honor the family of Russell L. Copeland invites the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their loved ones funeral and military honors.
Russell served in the Army from 24 APR 43 to 10 APR 46 during the European Theater (Germany, Poland and France). Russell was honorably discharged as a Private.
Russell loved traveling the world and listening to Jazz music. After 33 years Russell retired from the City of Los Angeles as a Senior Tree Surgeon.
Russell is survived by his wife of 67 years, Pearl; daughter, Valree Copeland Masters
and son-in-law and PGR, Lee Masters. Note: This notice is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this military veteran. For those interested all are welcome. We will accompany the hero and his family from Ward AME Church to his final resting place. Please see time table if you would like to participate.
