It was soo long ago but when I was little we went to the russo family reunion. I remember having a lot of fun with uncle frank and uncle tony, along with meeting so many people I had never met before. I wish we would have had more. So very sorry to his family.

I worked with Frank Russo on legal matters in the 1990's. He was truly the nicest man I have ever met, and always felt that it was most important to do the right thing toward others (especially former Deval associates) than to worry about what he may be owed. For me, he defined the word "mercy", because of his generosity to everyone, even those who I felt (and he often agreed) had wronged him. The world is a lesser place today without Frank Russo.

May you rest in peace Frank, I really enjoyed our Golf outings whenI was up from Florida.

I was so very saddened to hear of Frank' death. Paul and I enjoyed his company immensensely. He made us feel so welcomed when we moved onto Eden Hall. Frank was a very warm, loving, caring, and interesting man. Always a gentleman. Always friendly, probably when he did not even feel well himself. I enjoyed sitting in his yard listening to his stories. Frank was truly loved by all and will be surely missed by everyone who knew him. AnnMarie Hill

Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Frank Russo. He was such a compassionate man always giving of his heart to everyone he met.
