MARLBOROUGH – Russell A. Horne, 77, of Marlborough formerly of Framingham died Thursday September 1, 2022 following a lengthy illness.
Born in Ludlow, he was the son of the late Bertram & Roberta (Russell) Horne, and the loving husband for 55 years to Doreen J. (Tosches) Horne.
Russell was raised and educated in Springfield, and was a graduate of Springfield Trade High School.
He enlisted in the Army shortly after, and was stationed at the Natick Labs. There he met Doreen, they married and settled in Framingham to raise their family.
