Surviving family members include his wife, Joy, and his four children: Fred Jr. & Holly Vertucci of Hamburg, PA, Judy & Chuck Guske of West Winfield, Bill & Barbie Vertucci of Manly, Australia, and Angela & Tom Miller of Urbana, OH, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Fred is also survived by his a brother, James Vertucci of Kingston, but preceded in death by two brothers: Joseph and Anthony; and seven sisters: Grace Avery, Anna Edick, Rose Edick, Margaret Lasher, Mary Brown, Theresa Oakes and Elizabeth Lyons.
Fred was best known throughout the community as prominent businessman.

Fred and Joy retired in 2013. Fred enjoyed motorhome trips, long rides in the countryside, laughter over dinners and watching movies with family and friends. In the late 1970s, Fred formed the VPE motocross team, where several young men got their start in the sport, and many who say that he was a great influence.
