Andrea "Andy" Russo, 80, son of the late Pasquale and Assunta Russo, passed away on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 with his loving family by his side.
Born on June 17, 1942, in Vitulazio Italy, he was the first of his family to immigrate to America in 1966 at the age of 19.
Andy was known for his light-hearted sense of humor. He was a jack of all trades, and he was the person you would call if you needed masonry work, clothing to be tailored, or help tending your garden. In his free time he enjoyed being around his family, at the casino, or on the beach. He spent his retirement years enjoying cruises, visiting different islands with his long-term partner Jeanenne.
He is survived by his loving wife Gloria, and his three children, Pasquale Russo, Andrea Russo, and Ana-Alysse (Navada) Russo; his sister's Emelia DiChiara, Filomena Figliomeni, Michela Nasca; he is also survived by his two grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Andy is predeceased by his daughter Assunta "Cindy" Russo; his brother's Giuseppe and Pietro Russo. His late wife Giuseppina Russo, and life partner Jeanenne Holt.
