Dear Debbie and family:
I just learned of Larry's death and am truly saddened. We had a great time working together at Kodak ... beginning in the KO Mail Room through Advertising and Promotions. There was always some joke or laughter that we shared each day. I will always remember his smile and sense of humor.

Debbie, may the memories you shared with Larry strengthen you and may God's blessings always be with you and your family.

Dear Russo Family - Please accept my condolences at the loss of such a great man. Larry and I met at an ARMA conference and he took me under his wing - he taught me much about records management and I always looked forward to our weekly phone calls and catching up with him yearly in person at the conference. He was very excited at the pending wedding of his son and spoke very highly of his entire family. I know your loss is painful and only hope the many memories and stories people are sharing with you will help.

He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I spent quite a bit of time in high school at the Russo household. Mr. Russo was one of those fathers who was as much fun to spend time with as his sons. I always looked forward to watching a game with him or discussing our latest misadventures. He was supportive and kind however was not reluctant to set us straight when we behaved like typical high school knuckleheads (which was a daily event). He always had a joke and smile for everyone that come through the door at the Russo household. His example was one for many a current and aspiring father to emulate. My deepest sympathies go out to the Russo family for their loss.

Although I didn't see cousin Larry very often, I always noticed his kindness and sense of humor. I think that may have come from Uncle Rocky - like father, like son. I am very proud to be his relative. God bless the Russo family.

Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear about Larry's death. He was such a wonderful guy. His smile would light up the room.
I remember the first day Larry saw you as we set out on our 'mail deliveries' from the KO Mail Room....I knew it was love at first sight. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Russo Family,

I am deeply saddened by your loss of Larry. He was such a positve and enjoyable person to be around. I lost my sister to pancreatic cancer at the age of 36. It so hard to when they still have so much life left in them, as Larry did. I will keep you all, and Larry, in my prayers.

To Larry's family:
I am so sorry to hear about Larry's passing. I've worked with Larry for the last 8 1/2 years at OCD and as a matter of fact, took on Larry's prior role as OCD Records Manager when Larry left Rochester to go to NJ. Larry and I have stayed in touch through work and I saw him on Aug 13 when I was in New Brunswick. He was a great friend and mentor. He loved his family and always was so proud of his sons. I heard him speak with pride over each son's accomplishments, work, marriage. He was very much a family man, but was also a great friend at work. I will truly miss him and wish that I had had the chance to say a few last words of goodbye. I am sure he knows we will always remember his enthusiasm and love for life. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Sincerely, Kathy Bell

My deepest condolences on your loss. Larry was a fantastic colleague and instrumental in helping us gain momentum in our records management program. We will greatly miss his energy, enthusiasm, stories, and sense of humour at our conferences. Larry has certainly made a big difference in the lives of all those that have been blessed to have known and worked with him.
