Russell J. Francisco

Dear Marge and Family, I will never forget Russell, your dear husband and Dad. He saved my parents' house from a potentially deadly fire - he was our hero in the Fall of 1983! He also was always funny and full of jokes. His vitality for life will go on and on.
Our prayers are with you

Love always, Becky (Thorne) Lugara

To Family and Friends,
I last saw my cousin Russell when I was a little boy, in Newark, New Jersey. We were at a family gathering at our Grandmother's 2nd floor apartment. We were truly just children. Despite the distance in time and space, I felt a profound sadness when my Mom and Dad, Joan and Doug Francisco told me of our lost family member. I wish all of Rossell's loved ones God's graces. I am sorry for your loss. With Deepest Respect, Doug Francisco, Apollo Beach, Florida.

Dear Marge and Family,

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic death of your beloved Russ.
We'll always remember him, our neighbor long ago, with his truly wonderful personality and his love of life. Our hearts go out to you in your great loss. PLease accept our deepest sympathy.

Your heartbroken former neighbors,

Georgette and Herb Denlinger and Family

We are so sorry to here about Russels passing and fell for all of you. He will be deeply missed by so many, but will also leave so many lovely and vivid memories. Our deepest sympathies.

It is hard to believe Russ is gone - someone so alive. It was always a joy to run into him on campus here at Seton Hall - always alive, always helpful, always fun! And he enjoyed theology too - and was a man of faith - and a deep joy that enveloped everyone. His memory should make us all joyful -

We are sorry to hear about Russells passing. Im sure there will be a void her at Rock Creek. We will cherish the memories we have with Russell.

Even though Russ left Seton Hall three years ago, he is still the first one I think of when I have a computer-type question. I have also enjoyed his "travel-log" emails even if I was slightly envious. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, most gentle of people I ever knew and I will miss him and miss knowing that I won't run into him.

Memories abound... I'm so glad we had time together here in Mississippi recently those memories will be cherrished even more.. With love and sorrow...

I will miss my Uncle Russell... he was wonderful, we spent many christmas's there and he always showed us a fun time.... anytime we came up there we would have fun.......... my prayers with the family.....love and hugs and kisses to all......
