James H. Russos

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Russos passing. I spent many hours working with him at Brothers and have nothing but fond memory's, except for his coffee!

Rest in peace Mr. Russos, and my prayers are with your family.

Mrs. Russos, Bena and Noel; My thoughts are with you during this time. I have only pleasant memories working with "Jim and Bena" and the families. I am proud to say I knew and respected Mr. Russos and all of his family.

Jimmy Russos was truly a giant among men. I have been honored by his friendship since my birth and I will always remember him as being a loving man with a unique sense of humor. Jimmy was my Best Man and godfather to my son.

My sincere love and prayers go out to Bena and to all of his wonderful family. May God bless his soul and all of us to His service.

Mrs. Russos, Noel, Elaine, Lauren, Alexandra, Megan, and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Some of my most precious memories during my college years come directly from my time working as a waiter at Brother's Pizza. I was especially fond of the very few slow evenings when Mr. Russos and I would talk as my shift was coming to an end. Of course, the end of the shift was never guaranteed due to the fact that if someone needed to eat, and Mr. Russos was...

Bena, Elaine, Noel and family,
Jimmy was such a kind gentle soul...greeting us when we were NC State students. Little did we know at that time that we would be one day related. His open heart and smiling face were such blessings. John and I will not be able to attend the funeral but our thoughts and prayers are with you. The wonderful memories that you share will be a great comfort in the days ahead.
Love, Diane and John Lumsden

Bena, Elaine, Noel, and family,

I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is a very difficult time, I just hope all the happy memories will give you comfort.
Love you

Jimmy,
We spent many a long day & night working together at Brothers. You taught me a great deal about the restaurant business. Many of those practices I still employ today, (except the one about making croutons!).
May the provide you a place of comfort,light and peace.
Our prayers and sympathies are with you Bena, Noel & Tim, Elaine & Bill and all the grandchildren & great grand children.

Bena, Libby and I are very sorry for you and the family on the loss of Jimmy.I met Jimmy when I came to Raleigh as the General Manager of the Club. He was a great help to me and I will cherish his memory. We had some great times in the card room. I am only sorry I did not get to spend more time with him after he got sick. I have been working out of town and only get home a short period of time. The last time I was home I saw you and the family at lunch and I told you that day he really looked...

Mr Russos was a comforting and familiar face to many NCSU students. During the time State had no cafeteria or food plan Mr Russos and the Brothers staff fed most of us. I remember the days standing in line to get in. Then NCNB closed their Hillsbourough St. office and Brothers expanded into that space. The absolute best pizza in town. Many State grads from the 70s and 80s feel your loss today and we thank you for sharing Mr Russos with us during those important years of our college life....
