Lorenzo Fusco

Romualdo "Lorenzo" Fusco, 64, of Manalapan, passed away on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Born in Italy, Lorenzo moved to the United States years ago to build a new life rooted in hard work and tradition. Proud of his heritage and the values he carried with him, Lorenzo shared the warmth of his Italian upbringing with everyone who knew him. A talented chef by trade, Lorenzo poured his heart into his cooking, believing that food was a way to bring people together. Whether preparing a Sunday sauce or a holiday feast, he made every meal a gathering of love. In his spare time, he enjoyed occasional trips to AC with Kathy, when he had the chance he enjoyed playing golf, and he loved his beloved dogs Sasha and Coco and his two new additions to the family Gigi and Rusty, but his greatest joy always came from time spent with family.
Lorenzo was predeceased by his parents, Antonio and Bruna Fusco, and his siblings, Michael and Emma Fusco. He leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion in the hearts of those who will miss him dearly, including his beloved partner of over 30 years, Kathleen Tolson; his brothers, Angelo and Albert Fusco; and his cherished grandchildren, Michael, Christopher, Rita, and Jaden. He will also be deeply missed by extended family and friends who were blessed to share life with him.
Family and friends are invited to visit and celebrate Lorenzo's life on Sunday, October 26th, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Freeman Manalapan Marlboro Funeral Home, 344 Route 9 North, Manalapan. A Funeral Liturgy will be offered on Monday at 10:30 AM at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Old Bridge. For directions or to leave a message of condolence, please visit www.freemanfuneralhomes.com.
