Russell Willi Humeniuk (aka Slauko), born January 15, 1945, in Schweinfurt, Germany, son of Harry Humeniuk and Anna (Priatka) Humeniuk, Ukrainian nationals who were displaced from their homes during World War II. At the end of the war, they were relocated to Ohio.

He was a 1963 graduate of Girard High School and a 1978 graduate of Youngstown State University with a major in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology.

He worked at New York Life, Clarkins, and Sheet and Tube in Youngstown and at Lighthouse Mortgage and Bicks Driving School in the Cincinnati area. He also raised his two sons so that his wife could pursue her career.

Russ lived in Lebanon, OH for over 30 years, prior to moving to Cumming, GA at the end of 2022. He was a member of The Oasis Church in Middletown and continued as an online member after the move.

His favorite past times were family, music, video games, billiards, and watching all types of sports. He was an avid Ohio State Buckeye and Cleveland Browns fan. His sons were raised on these teams and still carry on the tradition of watching each season. In his younger years Russ was a caddy at the Mahoning Country Club. He also loved to play golf. 

He was preceded in death by his mother, father, and a brother Dr. Harry Humeniuk.

He leaves his wife of 51 years, Linda (Baker) Humeniuk whom he married on May 5, 1973; two sons Christopher (Jaclyn) of Cumming and David of San Diego; a granddaughter Evelyn Marie Humeniuk of Cumming; two brothers William Humeniuk in Ohio and John Humeniuk in Florida.
