Russell colored and cut my hair and was a close friend of my mother, Peggy. He was a charming, hilarious, intelligent, and gentle human being. I will miss him. I hope he is enjoying the show from wherever he may be.

Whenever I think of Russell I will smile. Smile at the loving care for his brother when he was ill; smile at calling his nieces and singing Happy Birthday to them every year; smile at him jumping on a plane to Austin because he wanted to taste a recipe Kara posted online; smiling at the time MaryJane and I tried to FaceTime him and were informed no one could see him before noon. So watched the dog while we had a wonderful chat; smiling at the time he had tickets waiting for me at a theatre in the desert because he thought I'd enjoy a musical his friend wrote; which I did. Smile at the Cappellino reunions he scheduled in California for all of us to enjoy. There is no end to Russell stories, but mostly I will smile at his loving devotion to family and friends.
And hope these memories will bring smiles and comfort to all.

Russell did my mother's hair when he worked in Midtown Plaza. As long as I can remember, he was her hairdresser. He did other family member's hair also. He came to North Carolina with Robin ( she was about 5) to do the bridal family's hair for my cousin's wedding. We all had so much fun by the pool..He will be forever remembered. My deepest condolences to the family of Russell.

Since my friendship with Russell spans 40 years, there are so many wonderful memories to share. I'll choose one that I hope Robin will appreciate. There was a yearly ritual we would go through, which was selecting the next piece of jewelry for Robin. I know how much building Robin's jewelry collection meant to him!! Robin, I know you must always think of your Dad when you wear all the beautiful pieces, he so carefully chose for you.
No matter how bad a day I was having, Russell always made it better. He will never be replaced.
Love to all, Rose

Russ was so amazing. He was always there to whisk us around NYC., or offer us a place to stay. Our favorite memory was when he took us on a unique tour of Rockefeller Center in his convertible. He had the heater on full blast and the snow was falling down on us. This was a truly a magical NYC moment that we will never forget. I had the chance to visit with him a few months back and he was a peace and still as spicy as ever. I will miss making deviled eggs for him and receiving all of his email holiday cards.
We are thinking of his family and our prayers are with you.

How can you put over 50 years into a great friendship and memories? He is my son's God Father and was always good to Christopher. The NY city times and him doing my hair and makeup was always special. Traveling to Germany and spending fun times in Europe he loved that time. He met the grandchildren about 5 years ago and had lunch with us all. After Chris was born we spent the week in the city with him and he just loved him then I made him his God Father. Sorry lost some contact these past few years, but my heart will always have a piece of you in it and will be missing the laughter, craziness and just the love you gave us. Love you and see you again. Hugs alot of them. Another Angel I can watch in the sky.
