Dear Russo Family,
Joe was a man filled with stories and family history. He was very proud of his family and would share that history with everyone he met. Joe looked forward to his 80th birthday. He loved going to The Lucky Grill twice a week on his lunch hour and everyone knew him. Joe was part of our OLV staff. He was blessed in many ways and he will live on in our hearts.
Love,
Mary Beth and Ken
