Giacomo “Jack” Russo
December 15, 1930 — November 6, 2020
Giacomo “Jack” Russo, of Saint Charles, MO, passed away Friday, November 6, 2020 at the age of 89. Loving husband of 63 years to Isolina Russo; beloved son of the late John and Grace Russo; devoted father of Steven (German Aries) Russo, John Russo, and Scott (Beth) Russo; cherished grandfather of Giacomo Nicholas (Nicole) Russo, Joseph Russo, Adam (Allison) Russo, Meredith (Nick) Vitale, and Sara (An'rae) Clair; treasured great-grandfather of Michael Vitale, Lilian Vitale, Jack Russo, Jennifer Russo, and Peyton Clair; dear brother of the late William (Rosemary) Russo, the late Angelo Vincent Russo, and Patricia Schlereth.
Jack proudly served in the U.S. Marines during the Korean War. He met the love of his life on a blind date after he got out of the service. They had a fun courtship, and they married 3 years later. They became parishioners at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, and attended St. Charles Borromeo in their retirement.
Jack loved his family and looked forward to family vacations every year, usually to Black River Lodge in Lesterville. He and his wife continued to travel after they retired, and they visited almost all 50 states. They also took several cruises and as well as regular trips to Florida.
Jack enjoyed gardening vegetables, which sweet potatoes were his specialty. He had a nice round of green peppers and zuccini at the end of the season as well. He loved the outdoors and hunting was his passion, especially deer. He also liked to hunt squirrel and turkey.
As an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, Jack attended many of their games and also enjoyed watching them on TV. There was never spare time for this guy, as he liked to stay busy with projects around the house to make sure everything was well taken care of for his family. Jack was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Memorials may be made in Jack's name to Alzheimer's Association or Masses.
