Anthony "Tony" Russo

It is with much sadness to say that Anthony "Tony" Russo, age 39, of Wilmington, DE, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, November 25, 2015.

Tony is survived by his parents, Bob and Lynne Russo of Wilmington, sister Nikki Russo (Noah Hughes), brother Joe Russo (Nicole Zambanini), nephew Max, nieces Amelia and Maisie, and friend Deanna.

He attended Immaculate Heart of Mary School, Salesianum High School, was graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School, and, attended Delaware Tech College.  For most of his adult life, he worked in the restaurant business within the Wilmington area.

Tony was the sweetest most compassionate and loving person, with a love for people, animals, and music - a beautiful person inside and out. Always there to put his arm around you to comfort you and offer a shoulder to cry on. Having a passion for music since a young teenager, he enjoyed playing the guitar and writing music. In his teens and early 20's, he dedicated much of his time as guitar player and song writer with a few local rock bands.  Even at age 39, he still got excited and had such a great time going to music concerts. Tony liked getting together with friends and family or hanging out to watch an Eagles football game.  He would sit back and relax by listening to music, reading, watching a favorite episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or a good movie, and enjoyed challenging himself and his sister to the game of TV's Jeopardy.

His family loves him so very much and will forever miss him!
