Paolo Fusca, 89, died on October 28, 2022 surrounded by his loving family.  He was born in Sant’Onofrio (VV), Calabria, Italy on June 3, 1933 to his late parents Elisabetta & Raffaele Fusca.

Paolo was a communicant at St. Ann’s Church, Raritan, NJ.  He retired in 1997 from Reckitt Benckiser.

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend.  Paolo was a kind and caring person and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

The most important activity for Paolo was spending time with his family and gathering for big family meals.  Paolo enjoyed spending time at his bungalow at the Jersey shore, maintaining his grapevine at his Raritan home and making his own wine.  He never tired of playing bocce ball with friends and with his grandchildren.
