He was born on March 17, 1940 in Oak Park, IL to Joseph and Lucille (nee Bertone) Russotti. He served his country honorably in the United States Army during the Korean War.

From time to time, when the commotion of so many family members became tiring for him, he would say that he was "going to let the dog out" or he "needed to fix the couch leg" and would sneak away for a nap.
