Not sure what to say?

I have very respectful memories of Judge Russo from comments made by my father, Joe Malgeri of East Boston, who was a friend of his and then my own encounters with Judge Russo as he very professionally and compassionately served PERAC for so many years. He exemplifies a wonderful example for the rest of us!

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

Judge Russo always made you feel like you had something to contribute and was generally interested in what you had to say. A wonderful legacy.

My deepest condolences to Mark & Elizabeth Russo and family. I know this is a really hard time for all, but just try to remember all the special times you had with your dad.

It is never easy and there are few experiences in life more profound than the loss of a parent. Know that the pain that weighs your heart today, will over time ebb and be replaced
with but fond memories. A remembrance that today will summon tears to flow will someday bring but a smile to your face.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Warm Regards,

MY DEAR UNCLE
So many thoughts,
in my head.
So many things,
left unsaid.
You left that day,
without a glance.
Never knowing God,
wasn't giving you a second chance.
What was in your head,
the last moments you had.
I hope you had happy thoughts,
and not sad.
No one can ever take your place.
Your image in my heart will never erase.
As you smile on me from up above.
My mind is still sad but my heart is filled with love.
I love you dear uncle you meant the world to me.
I'll always make you proud of me you will see.
=================================

To my Uncle Dom you taught us all how to be strong and never be afraid of going after our dreams. You were an inspiration to all. I will always hold a soft place in my heart remembering all the great times we shared.
I love you Uncle may you rest in peace,
Steven

Judge Russo was a very personable chairman for us at PERAC. I am a retired auditor and have fond memories of him entertaining a group of us at PERAC' Amherst conference with stories while we were waiting for the dinner service. His legacy is how he treated people, which means he has the very best legacy possible. Rest in peace very deservedly with all the blessings of heaven!

Please have my condolences for your loss. Judge Russo was an extraordinary man and an ideal justice: very smart, knowledgeable about the law, hard working, and wise. He treated everyone with respect and courtesy, and usually directed his gentle humor toward himself. He really understood people and our failings, and acted with compassion toward all. I wish he could have been a judge forever.
