Not sure what to say?

To Mrs. Russo, Joe and the rest of the Russo family: So sorry to hear that one of the top ten nicest people I ever knew has fled our world...NO Doubt...for a better one. Too bad A man like Sam Russo had to be mortal. It was always a pleasure to visit Joe and his family at the "Gaylord Estate", since Mr. & Mrs. Russo were so genuinely welcoming. He will be missed by those closest to him, and never forgotten by anyone, like me, who had the privilege of knowing him. If there's a heaven,...

Dear Russo family: Sam was an inspiration to me as a young radiology professional. My husband and I admired him as a true gentleman and caring professional. We will remember him, and you, in our prayers. D.A. and Tony Saia

My thougts and memories are with the family and all who knew him. My grandmother, Eleanor Gehrke worked at Gaylord for years and I have great memories from my childhood of her always bringing me in to say hello to Sam each time I visited. Sam always called me “Tiger”. 30 years later, I still remember his smile and gentle way.

I worked with Sam in the 1980's at Gaylord and I came to know him as a wonderful, wonderful person. He always had a kind word and a beautiful smile and he touched my heart in so many ways. I have wonderful memories of him talking about his family, whom he adored. Ironically, I went on a few years later to work with his daughter Gail and we would share stories about her Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Iam so sorry to hear about your dad RICH MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES VITO

Dear Russo Family,
Sam was always such a treasure, a wonderful person to encounter at Gaylord. May God bless your family, and bring you comfort.

To Audrey & Family,
Throughout Sam's life and his work, he touched many peoples' hearts. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
