Salvatore P. Russo

2021. Sal was born on March 17, 1924 to Anthony and Mary Russo in Brooklyn, New York. He

was the beloved husband of Catherine Russo whom he married in February of 1968. Sal had a

long and successful career in manufacturing at Ullman Company where he met Catherine in

1948.

Sal was a devoted Husband, Uncle, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather. He served his Country

honorably during World War II where he fought to liberate Europe on battlegrounds stretching

from Ardennes to Germany. For his bravery, Sal was earned: EMEA Campaign Medal, American

Campaign Medal, Victory Medal and Good Conduct Medal.

For many years, Sal could be found on weekends in the Pocono Mountains enjoying time with

family at his vacation home. Later in life, he became a loyal Yankees fan and never missed

watching a game. A kinder and more humble gentleman, you will not find in the world.

He is preceded in death by Catherine, his wife of 23 years, his brothers Louis & Tony (Junior), his

sister Lucy Castiglia and his parents.
