Funeral planned today for 100-year old WWII veteran

A funeral is being held this morning for a 100-year old New Fairfield veteran who passed away last month.  Lou Russo fought in World War II.  He will be laid to rest with full military honors at 10am at the State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown.  Russo gained local fame after he successfully fought for independence from a nursing home where he was confined against his will, with the help of friends and veteran advocates.  A conservator exploited Russo and a judge later ordered the man to repay Russo.  He lived out his final years in his Hammond Road home, which was fixed up by volunteers.
