Mr. Speaker, as we head toward Remembrance Day, I rise to pay tribute to a great Canadian. Russel William Woods died during the pandemic, on December 18, 2020, at the age of 96. Russel served in Bomber Command during the Second War War in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Lancaster tail gunner. Of the 20,000 Canadian airmen in Bomber Command, half were killed in action. After the war, Russel returned home to Belwood and to farming. He was a founding member of Chicken Farmers of Ontario. He was a devoted member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 275 in Fergus. He was a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. For all of us, he was a great friend and devoted community member, always with a smile and always with a sense of humour. Russel William Woods was truly a great member of the greatest generation. We will remember him.
