To the Russillo & Verdecchia family: We are very saddened to hear of Stevie's passing. He could always be heard over everyone else, with a smile and sense of humor. Everyone was his "cousin." May he rest in peace with mama and papa and smiling and laughing once again.

I'd like to extend my condolences to Steves' family and friends. I just saw him on Sunday night and I was greeted with his trademark, " YO,YO,YO !." His sense of humor and love of the game will be sorely missed by his fellow umpires.
