I was saddened to learn of the passing of Russ “Styles” DiBona.

Russ taught my son drums during his grade school years, and I remember him as someone who made learning music fun. He was always friendly, patient, and generous in sharing his talent and love for music.

For 30 years at O. DiBella Music, Russ shared that passion with generations of students. To many kids and parents in Bergenfield and the surrounding communities, he was a familiar and friendly face whose impact went far beyond music lessons.

My deepest condolences to Russ’ family, friends, students, and the entire O. DiBella Music family. May the music he shared and the many lives he touched be part of his lasting legacy.

Rest in peace, Russ.

We are deeply saddened by the catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet, which has claimed hundreds of lives and left more than 1,400 people missing, including American tourists.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, those who remain missing, and all individuals and communities displaced by this devastating tragedy.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Nepal and Tibet and extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected during this difficult time.
