Joseph C. Buscaglia

Buscaglia, Joseph C., age 78, passed away after a recent illness on Sunday, May 1, 2016. A resident of Sea Isle City, NJ, Joe was born in Rosenhayn, NJ to Joseph and Elvira (Waechter) Buscaglia on December 27, 1937. A graduate of Bridgeton High School class of 1957, Joe was a man of many skills. If there was a task to be done, Joe knew how to do it. When he started it, he finished it. Over the years, he worked at Price Label in the book printing industry, in maintenance for Ocean City, and retired from the Woodbine Development Center in 2004. Moving to Sea Isle City in the early 80's, Joe loved his home on the bay where he could watch the birds, boats, and sunsets. Joe was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. He took many, especially his beloved grandchildren, on his boat for fishing and crabbing. From that bounty, he enjoyed preparing feasts of steamed crabs and deep fried seafood. Survivors include his wife, Gail (Homan) Buscaglia, whom he married July 27, 1957; daughters, Susan (Bruce) Davis of Allendale, NJ and Kim (Patrick) Browne Sr. of Stewartsville, NJ; grandchildren Meredith and Emily Davis, Amanda (Mike) Alfano, Colleen, PJ, Jessica and Katy Browne. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother John Buscaglia and sister Elvira Jiannone. There will be no visitation. Family and friends will gather to remember Joe in the near future.
