Albin Russel Soesbee, Jr., 81, born on March 15, 1939, in Asheville North Carolina, United States, passed away February 17, 2021. He resided in Burbank, CA at the time of his passing and spent a lot of his time in Rosarito Mexico.

Russel is the son of Albin "Grampy" Russel Soesbee and Ruby "Muzzy" Soesbee, and the brother of sisters Bobbie and Ginger.

Russel was definitely a jack of all trades and worked in many different occupations including: US Airforce aircraft maintenance, city bus driver, bowling alley mechanic, iron foundry manager, train design and document control, and multiple types of commercial and residential construction. Throughout his career he was well respected and made many, many friends. His hobbies ranged from a love of reading, going to the beach, to hunting, to fixing anything that was broken. He was instantly likeable, had a wonderful sense of humor, and was great at telling jokes. The world is a better place because of him and he will be sorely missed.

Arrangements are under the direction of Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills, California.
