Not sure what to say?

I worked for Al Russillo Sr at Stingers from 1989-1991 and spent a lot of time with his sons Al and Mike. These three men literally helped me shape my life, providing me constant motivation to work hard and enjoy the rewards of life that comes from hard work. Al Senior was always a stalwart businessman sitting at the end of the bar at Stingers, always a watchful eye for his booming seafood restaurant that was beloved in Johnston. Thanks to entire Russillo family for everything they did for...

Alfred, Michael and Auntie. Very sorry for your loss.

Uncle Al lived his life the way he wanted. I'll always remember listening to the stories he would tell about his military service, hunting and our family.
I will miss him.
