Devoted father of Luigi (Aurelle) Russo of Rowley and Teresa (Santiago) Soto of Groveland. Loving brother of Giovanni (Ermelinda) Russo of Revere, MA and Angelina (Michele) DiPlacido of Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. Beloved “Nonno” to Leonila and Selena Russo, and “Peepaw” to Mia and Haleigh Soto. Dear son of the late Gennaro and Teresina Russo of Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. Luigi was born, and grew up, in Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. He came to America in May of 1971 and resided in Somerville. In 1977 he married Rachel and settled in Revere where they raised their two children. Luigi worked for 45 years, fi rst as an autobody repairman at Somerville Auto Body and A&M Auto Body, and later as a demolition laborer for Atlantic Coast Dismantling with Local 1421 (Building Wreckers). He loved working and took pride in a job well and safely done. To this day Luigi is respected by past employers and co-workers for his work ethic, trustworthiness, and fun-loving personality. Luigi loved spending time at his cottage in Madison, NH. While there he and his wife enjoyed snowmobiling, taking long walks, being on the shimmery lake with his pontoon, watching breathtaking sunsets, and gazing at the glorious star-fi lled night sky. He would often go up to New Hampshire’s “North Country” to hunt for small game and to sporting clubs for clay shooting events. He created great road trip memories with loved ones cruising along the East Coast, driving cross country to California, and visiting Canada. He and Rachel also toured Italy and parts of France and Switzerland. His dream of going to Alaska with his wife came true in 2018. He cherished his 2021 family vacation to Florida. OBITUARIES Luigi liked preparing rustic Italian food, barbequing his famous lamb skewers, and finding “the best” soppressate, dried sausages, cheese, and bread. He joyfully welcomed friends and family to gather around the table to eat and have lighthearted conversations. Luigi was not only a hardworking and loving father and husband who brought his laughter, and his joking, fun-loving spirit to each day, but also a fi ghter who battled for the last eight years against MSA, a severely debilitating disease. His heartwarming personality always shined through. He is loved and a hero to all who knew him. Luigi’s favorite Christian song lyric was “One Day at A Time, Sweet Jesus”. It gave him peace. A visitation was held Wednesday, January 15, at Paul Buonfi glio and Sons Funeral Home. Funeral service was held at the funeral home on Thursday, followed by Funeral Mass at Saint Anthony’s Church in Revere. Interment Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett. If We Happen To Meet By Accident ...
