John Russo, BHS '64 (1945-2024)

John Michael Russo
September 28, 1945 - October 16. 2024
 

We just received this sad news...

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you to announce that John Russo (class of '64) passed away on October 16, 2024 after a brave and long battle with cancer.  

John joined the US Air Force following graduation and served most of his tour of duty in Germany assigned to jet engine maintenance.  Following his discharge he was employed by Boeing Aircraft and spent several years abroad teaching jet engine maintenance to foreign military personnel.  

Upon his return from those assignments, John moved to the Lake Tahoe area and resided there for for over 50 years until his passing.  He was a successful small business owner, opening up Honest John's Small Appliance Repair for the Lake Tahoe and surrounding area. 

John leaves behind his loving wife, Bobbie, and two sons, Anthony and Christopher. 

John was, and will always be, my best friend. Please add John Michael Russo to the BHS memorial listing. 
 
Thank you, Mike Brewster '64
