John Rusinko

Mike and Family - for some reason, until today I was unaware of Coach Rusinko's passing. Mr. Rusinko was my basketball coach briefly in high school. Large in stature, but even larger in class, even back then I knew I was in the presence of an extraordinary gentleman. Strong yet easy with praise, he knew as did all of us that he was doing more than just coaching basketball. Built like a pillar, physically and morally. Used two words more than any other while on the court: "...float it!" ...

To the Rusinko family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I came across his obit while doing some family research. For some time, I wanted to contact John just to see if there was a distant family connection. Now I'll never have that chance.

To the Rusinko family - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always have fond memories of Coach Rusinko - a great coach and even greater family man.

Dear Mike and Carol,

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to you.
