My condolences to your family. I am the son of Sal and Mary Russo and the grandson of Guisippina (Greco) Iasiello of Glen Ave Staten Island. I believe we are cousins. Did your family live on Cary Ave? I will notify your Australian cousin Renato Coscia whose mother Anna was a Greco from Altavilla. I would lie to reestablish communication with our families. God bless you in your time of loss.
