     He was born February 10, 1941 in Batavia.  Predeceased by his parents Joseph and Rose Malone Russo, sister-in-law, Annie Russo and nephew, Davey Russo.
     Louis will be remembered as the toughest guy in Western N.Y., in his time and forever.  He once KNOCKED OUT a gorilla at a carnival many years ago.  Although the toughest guy around and a hot temper, Louie had the Biggest Kindness Heart and was loved by many.  He was a hardworking and dedicated man, who retired from Lapp Insulator after 43 years of service.
