Heartfelt condolences to Aunt Marilyn, Alicia, Joyce, Russell and their families. I am sorry for your loss and I pray God's blessing of comfort and peace are with you all. I wish I could attend Uncle Russ's funeral but I made the hard decision to not attend since I am still recovering from a yucky virus. I wanted to pay my respects to Uncle Russ, my Godfather, in person, but, please know I am there in spirit. I sincerely hope you can feel that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I reflect with joy on all those moments at Nonni's, times in NY and the fun family reunions we all shared.
With heartfelt Love, Janet Fuller and Family Steve, Chip & Candice

My name is Bob Lohmeyer and very sorry for your loss. Russ was a great man and I feel very lucky to have known him. A couple of stories. I was one of the first retail salesmen for Stanley Hardware. Jim Stevens my boss sent me to the Masback Show in NYC to help Russ with the show. I didn´t know a thing, but Russ guided me along. I think I sold a shelf bracket rack. I was scared to death but Russ calmed me down. The next story: Russ was my roommate at my first sales meeting. I believe it was at Marco Island. Again a very scary time for me. He and his friend, I think Rick Majeski were the Stars at Stanley so here I am rooming with the big cheese. Anyways one night, about 2:00, I awoke to Russ pacing back and forth in the room with his boxer shorts on and a big fat at least 8" long cigar hanging if out of his mouth. He was quite character. I often called him for help with some Hardware problem I had. He was a very kind and nice man. I think also y´all were friends of the Toracivas. God bless you all.

Dear Marilyn. Marie and I send our deepest sympathy. Spent some times with him when we were younger. When my older brother was married to his sister Angie. May he rest in peace.
