Fred A. Russo
Fred Alfio Russo, 78, born to Juanita and Fred Russo, passed away on a bright Sunday afternoon outside his home, surrounded by caring neighbors and loved ones.
Raised early on in St. Louis, Missouri in a neighborhood called The Hill, before relocating to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where he enjoyed over seventy years of life. He’s survived by his wife Patty, children Anthony (Christina), Vincent (Jennifer), Nicholas (Jaymi), Maria, John, Elizabeth (Andrew), Madelyn (Michael), and eleven grandchildren.
Fred was admired dearly and will be forever missed. A history buff and avid conversationalist, losing Fred was like losing a library. He’ll be remembered most for his smile, friendly wave, gigantic heart, and dedication to the Catholic faith.
Due to Fred’s wishes and the devastating Coronavirus pandemic, services will be limited to Fred and Patty’s immediate family. Patty and children would like to thank all who have reached out with kindhearted words and actions during this period of grief.
Memorial contributions will be directed to The Arc of Central Iowa or JDRF.
