Paul Wayne Rusco, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed from this life peacefully surrounded by family, on February 8, 2024 at the age of 73 years, 10 months, & 26 days. He was born on March 13, 1950 in Oilton, Oklahoma to Nelson & Alberta (Schonfield) Rusco. He attended grade school at Buckeye & went on to graduate from Olive High School in 1968. In 1969 he married Lanie Campbell & from this union two daughters were born: Lori & Melody. In 1975 he met Brenda Creekmore Randall & to this union, he gained three more children: Jimmy Randall, Jr., Lori Randall, & Lynda Randall. In his younger days, Paul enjoyed going to rodeos and riding his motorcycle. He had several other hobbies throughout his lifetime & was an avid collector of small lawn tractors and hot-wheels. He enjoyed leather working and loved grilling ribs, brisket, and bologna.

Paul was a third generation water well driller in Creek County and the surrounding areas. In 1991 he became a tank insulator welder for Yale Steel Fabrication which allowed him and Brenda to travel. When that window closed, he came back to his childhood love of drilling water wells and joined up with his brother, David. Later in life, Paul enjoyed fishing, camping, and more trav eling, and spending time with his family and friends. Brenda loved dragging him down old Route 66, making several stops along the way. But don't kid yourself, he re ally did love to travel. They were fortunate to go on a few cruises and the highlight for Paul was trying the many dierent foods. But what he enjoyed most was the ice cream station. Being a man of few words, a perfect day for him would be sitting under a tree, whittling on a walking cane; his dog in his lap, and a Diet Pepsi in his hand.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a Daughter: Lori Colwell; Son: Jimmy Ran- dall, Jr.; Granddaughter: Brayden Loy; Great Grandchild: Raeleigh Ritter; Son-in-Law: Harold "Skip" Brown; 2 Brothers: James & Billy Rusco; 3 Sisters: Juanita Reed – Virginia "Jackie" Rusco -
