K1BIX – Russell E. “Rusty” Plush
December 11, 1945 – August 17, 2021
Russell E. “Rusty” Plush, 75, of Palmyra, passed away on Tuesday August 17, 2021 at The Middletown Home. Long time member and former Board Member Rusty K1BIX has lost his fight with Cancer at 05:15 on 8/17/21.
One of Rusty’s final wishes was to be able to be buried and not cremated. Unfortunately he doesn’t have life insurance or
enough assets to pay for a funeral/burial. We did setup a gofundme to help us fulfill Rusty’s wishes any amount helps.
