Mario Russo

We are so sad to hear of Marios passing. He was a wonderful cousin and Godfather to Alexis. Mario was a very generous and loving person. We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers. He is in Heaven enjoying amazing meals with his Mother Giovanina and his aunties!

I send my deepest sympathy to Mario's family. I am keeping you in my prayers.
I worked with Mario many years in Structural Design at the Army Corps of Engineers. I did his drafting into the Cadd for him in our section. The details that he gave me were beautiful and more detailed than the ones that I received from anyone else's. He was a good engineer. I enjoyed talking sports with him and enjoyed his sense of humor.

My brother-in-law Thomas King was Mario's...

Mario bless his heart ❤ was always a pleasure to work with at the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. I remember him for his smile and always a credit to his hard working service. Heaven has certainly gained an Angel. My condolences to his family and friends.

May your grief be tempered with found memories of this kind and peaceful man.
He was totally expert and comfortable in his profession. An unshakeable smile and a gift to us co-workers and friends.

Mario was definitely one of the nicest guys I had the the privilege of knowing at the Corps of Engineers. Always the professional and top notch engineer. My deepest condolences to his family on their loss, but Heavens gain.

I extend my deepest sympathy to Mario's family at his passing. We worked together in the design of many water resource projects for close to 30 years at the Seattle District, Army Corps of Engineers. Mario was always a fun and friendly person to be around, a true professional in every sense of the word. I know he will be missed but take comfort in knowing he enjoyed a full and successful life.

Mario was, indeed, a bocce champion. He always wanted the last crucial shot and usually made it. "You got Mario'ed!" That is what he was known for at the Woodland Park Bocce Club, where he will always be remembered with respect and fondness.

I knew Mario through bocce both as a competitor and a teammate. In 2012 Mario, my son Nic, Lisa Lamp and myself finished third at the Clem Elum/Yakima Lodge Sons of Italy combine bocce tournament.
The team photo and the medal are my favorite items.
