Galeti Family:
I would like to echo the sentiments of Russ's classmates and friends. I am not surprised to learn that I am not the only classmate to think about Mitch's passing when I recall my time in G-Hts. I believe it is likely because of how we all knew it effected Russ and his family. In grade school, Russ had me over after school from time to time. We would have a snack and listen to the Jackson Five.......super cool.
A true friend in every sense imaginable.

My condolences to the family . My best memories are stopping at his house on the way to school, and so many other activities throughout the years along with the rides in the yellow Chevy impala SS , Butch you’ll be missed but never ever forgotten.

To the Galeti Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I knew Russ as a classmate from Garfield Heights. I will think fondly of him and his accomplishments whenever I see the Cleveland skyline and it will bring a smile to my face.
Love and Blessings,

The Galeti family is a very special family to us, our hearts are saddened for all of you. We had the honor of knowing your Husband and Dad for a very short time but he made us feel like forever. He will always be a special man to us.

I do not know Russell, but I do read obituaries. I now feel as though I DO know Russell after reading this tribute. Such a fantastic write-up -- I can only imagine what it was to have known him. RIP, friend.
