Angelo Russo

Angelo Russo, 86, passed away on Friday November 1, 2024, at St. Peter’s Hospital. 

Born on October 22, 1938, in Montemurro, Italy, he was the late son of Carmine and Anna Marie Russo. 

Angelo received his Associate degree in Electrical Engineering and owned his own construction company. He loved to invent things, up-cycled before it was cool, tinkered with everything to make it better and loved to learn about new things. As a heart transplant survivor of 29 years, he was appreciative of the love and care he received at Mass General Hospital. 

He is survived by his three children, Anna of Philadelphia, PA, Angelo Jr. of Los Angeles, CA, and Carmine of Schenectady, NY; one grandson, Makki of Philadelphia, PA, and two daughter in-laws, Mia of Los Angeles, CA, and Julie of Schenectady, NY. He is also survived by his sister Carmella of Phoenix, Arizona, brother Giovanni of Montemurro, Italy, and significant other, Kinga LaChapelle of Athens, NY.

Friends and family are invited to attend visitation on Friday, November 8, 2024, from 10:00am to 11:30am with a Funeral Service to begin at 11:30am at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 343 New Karner Rd., Colonie NY 12205.
