Philip Joseph Russo, Jr.

He was the beloved and only child of the late Sadie Palmisano Russo and Philip Joseph Russo, Sr.

He is survived by his first cousin, Catherine Capozza and her daughter Cathy Ann Cannizzaro, who was his caregiver, and his Godson, Stephen Falcone. He also leaves behind second cousins from the Falcone and Capozza families. He was good to his family and we will miss him.

He served in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. He was a Veteran of the Korean War.

Before his retirement, during his career, he was employed as a Documentation Clerk for both Texas Terminal Transport and Daniel F. Young Freight Forwarders.

Special thanks to the staff of East Jefferson General Hospital and Colonial Oaks Living Center.
