    Dr. Russell Burton Travis

    Dr. Russell Burton Travis passed away September 16, 2012 at his residence. He earned his Ph.D. in geology from the University of California, Berkeley and was subsequently employed by Exxon Oil Company and Petro Peru. Dr. Travis was very athletic as a young man when he played football, rugby, and basketball. His family remembers him as one who was very patient, kind, fair, humble, unassuming, loyal, brilliant, and with a tremendous sense of humor. One of his hobbies was studying and photographing birds. He was in the process of writing a book about the history of Forestville, CA, the city where he lived as a young man. Survivors include his loving wife, Dalia; his son, Russell Travis; five daughters: Ellen Blue; Marilyn (Roger) Llamas; Julie (Carlos) Saracco; Chinkie (David) Helton; and Heidi Travis; and sister, Jacky Travis; 11 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and many friends. A memorial service will be conducted at Faith Chapel Funeral Home South, Thursday, September 20 at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Mike Gibson, First Church of Christ, Scientist, will officiate. FAITH CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME SOUTH is in charge of arrangements. You may express your condolences online at fcfhs.com.
