Russell G. Sipler, 75, of Quakertown, passed away on Friday, May 17, 2024, at home surrounded by his family.
Born on August 18, 1948, to Mary (Stuhltrager) Green, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he was adopted by his late father, Lester Sipler.
A graduate of Upper Moreland High School’s Class of 1967, Russell enlisted in the United States Marines where he served as an airplane mechanic and a sergeant.
Following his honorable discharge from the military, he spent over forty years as a general contractor, retiring in 2014.
Outside of work, he took joy in spending time outdoors—either hunting, trapping, or exploring the mountains. Russell was known for loving to have fun, as well as enjoying a cold beer—usually Natural Light in his later years, but preferably any beers that had the name Sam in them.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a brother: Joseph Cox; and sister-in-law: Ellen Cox.
Russell will be lovingly remembered by his wife of forty years: Sandra Partridge; sons: Russell, Shawn, and Thomas Sipler (Tanya); daughters: Kelly Sipler, Justine Yaun (Cliff), and Tabitha Sipler; brothers: Robin Sipler (Sharon) and Bruce Green (Melinda); sister: Brenda Gelnett (Cliff); five grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date. Those interested in attending are invited to contact the family for details.
Arrangements are under the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made via Russell’s GoFundMe page to help defer final expenses.
