Joseph Rossi Obituary
Joe installed fencing for various companies throughout the country and for Butler Fence and Atlas Fence.

Joe's family would like to thank the staff and his nurses, Taryn and Tiera, on 6H ICU at Upstate for their wonderful care and compassion
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family. There are no calling hours.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Nunn and Harper Funeral Home, Inc., 418 N. George St., Rome NY 13440.
