Russell shared the news on Twitter where he intended to reach all those who liked his cherished dad.

“I’m publishing this since I understand there are individuals all over the world who’s heart he touched and who’s ribs he tickled with his sparkly eyes and his saucy mindset to everybody, and whatever, and this is most likely as effective an approach as any to hand down the news,” he continued.
