Joseph Fuson Obituary

FUSON Joseph Frank Fuson, 87, of Simpsonville, SC, died December 15, 2016, surrounded by family. He was born in Jellico, TN, attended the University of Tennessee, and spent his professional life in Jacksonville, FL, working for CSX Railroad. He was an active member of First Baptist Greenville, and a friend to many. He loved golf, travel, and exercise, but his true love was people, especially his family. He was predeceased by his wife, Mary Mac, and is survived by his son Jim (Jill) and four grandchildren: Jordan Garris (Nathan), Joey, Robert, and Kelsey Fuson, and one great-grandson, Fuller Garris, whom he especially enjoyed. He is also survived by four sisters, Carolyn Cope (Wayne), Novella Phillips, Flo Martin (Luke), and Laura Martin (Stanley). Joe's funeral service will be held Friday, December 23, at 11:00 a.m. at Mackey Mortuary. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Memorials may be made to First Baptist Greenville.

Joe was my immediate boss while at Seaboard System Railroad in Jacksonville (during the process of seeking merger approval with Chessie to form CSX) back in the late 1980s, and was always such a gentleman and a boss you looked up to. Although I left the company in 1981, I never lost my memories of working for Seaboard (and old L&N) and my time working along with Joe, and how much respect he had for not only those under his immediate jurisdiction, but for all his co-workers. My honest respect for Joe will remain in my mind forever, and my sincerest sympathy goes to his survivors.

I was associated with Joe for many years at CSX. In fact, he was my boss, but that title does not fit here. He was a true friend and confidant. We kept in touch regularly after we retired even though he moved to Simpsonville. Joe had the utmost respect from the many major chemical shippers and co-workers he encountered over his years at CSX. He will be missed by many.

My wife, Marie, and I send our deepest condolence to Jim, Jill and all of Joe's family.

Much love Mom aka Mimi
