Dear family,
Our cousin Henry Russotto,
died on September 22 following an illness of several months. Henry was the only child of Leo and Eda Russotto,
and never married, so there are no immediate survivors except for the Russotto cousins. He was just a few weeks short
of his 73rd birthday.
Henry was a history teacher in the New York City public school system and a great sports fan.
He fancied that he would have a career as a stand-up comic, though that never happened.
May his memory be for blessing.
