I was so dismayed to hear of Russ’s passing. I had known him through family and friends since high school. Years later we were able to catch up and he shared his Civil War interests with me. That was most intriguing. I know he loved his wife and family very much and will be sorely missed Please accept my sincere condolences

It is with a sad heart that I share my feelings about a long time friend. I met Russ in 9th grade at Aliquippa High school and he was and remained to the very end the same man. He was charismatic, fun loving , adventuresome, proud and kind. He grew intellectually and we shared many wonderful conversations. His faith in Christ as his savior gives me a measure of comfort as I will always be spiritually connected to my dear, dear friend. I love you Russ and I am so glad that we said those sincere words to each other just a few days ago when we last talked. Dear family members & friends I knew Russ Purdie very well & yes He was "THE BIG GUY" in so many wonderful ways. We were all blessed to know him.

The one of my most favorite and memorable teachers. You could always count on him to buy you a soda from the teachers lounge if you asked real nice. I remember our class bought him a cake when he retired and he cried be cause he knew how much we loved him. He made history come alive! So sorry for your loss.
Forever a Blessing in our memories

My deepest condolences to the whole family as I was a former student of Mr. Purdie's at Geneva High School. One of my all time favorite teachers but he was more than just a teacher, he was someone you could talk to and you bet that he would tell it to you exactly how it is. One of my favorite memories was my senior year when I also had Russ for a study hall teacher. When I asked him if I could go to the store he said "Now Mr. George you know that I'm not supposed to let you sneak out of school but I know you're a senior and you're going to graduate soon so if you bring the whole class a box of donuts from Dunkin Donuts and me a coffee I will look the other way" and that's exactly what I did! Your knowledge and wisdom will be missed but never forgotten. Thank you for touching the lives of thousands of people through the years. Rest Easy Mr. P

Purdie family~Sending condolences on the loss of a wonderful man. Mr. Purdie was my teacher many years ago, and then taughtt my daughter. Seeing him again when he taught my daughter was an instant reminder of why so many students loved him so. Although I had been out of high school for almost two decades at this time, he remembered me immediately with funny stories and genuine affection. My heart hurts for you all and am keeping you in prayers. The world certainly lost a good one.
