Words cannot express how much Frank Russo meant to me. I will miss him everyday, miss talking to him, laughing with him, joking with him, lecturing him, and just hanging with him. He was my adopted brother, always positive, uplifting and loving. His family was his world and his grandchildren gave him so much joy and happiness. How they all loved him and the birthday parties he insisted to make for them letting them pick the menu. His daughters Nadette, Shelly and Tara were always there for him and took such wonderful tender loving care of him. My sincere condolencess to all of them. His relatives and friends who were with him over the last several years loved him and so enjoyed spending time with him. We all love you so much Frank and will miss hanging with you. Rest in Peace my dearest friend until we meet again. ♥️
Andrea Newcomer
I would be remiss is I didn’t mention how much his son-in-laws Chip Marous and Jeff Hanchar loved Frank. They helped him immensely; whatever he needed moved or assembled they were there. He respected them and loved what wonderful husbands and fathers they were to his daughters and grandchildren. You couldn’t find more loving and supportive men. ♥️
