Joseph Rossi Obituary

Joseph M. Rossi, 53, of Rome, passed away peacefully in Syracuse at Upstate Medical Center. Born in Oneida on October 19, 1970, he was a son of the late Frank and Gail (Monette) Rossi, Sr.

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

He liked to bowl and play bingo and work with flowers, but his passion was cooking. He was constantly thinking about what he was going to make for his next meal.

Joe is survived by his fiancé, Tami Lichtarski; a son, Justin Rossi (Dani); a sister, Gina Surace (Dean); daughter, Sharon Wilkes; mother-in-law, Sharon Peel; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and his beloved dog, Abigale. He was predeceased by a brother, Frank Rossi, Jr.

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.
