LAS VEGAS - Joseph Frank Fusco, 56, of Las Vegas, NV, formerly of Wellsville, passed away suddenly Thursday, January 25, 2018, of an apparent heart attack.

He was born August 14, 1961, in East Liverpool, the son of the late Frank Frederick and Mary Elizabeth (Moore) Fusco.

Joe graduated from Wellsville High School in 1979 and earned his bachelor's degree from West Liberty University. He was currently employed in the tourism industry as a manager for Take A Break Travel in Las Vegas. Joe was never seen without a smile on his face, and his larger-than-life personality preceded him wherever he went. He was always ready with an invitation to look him up when you were going to be visiting in Vegas. His hometown family and friends were blessed to see him the week before he passed away when he was in town for his brother-in-law's funeral.

Survivors include his sister, Mary Jane Beadnell of Wellsville; his brother, Frank Frederick Fusco II and his wife, Mary K., of Columbus, OH; and his niece, Kathleen Fusco of Columbus, OH.

Burial will be in St. Elizabeth Cemetery.

Friends may call two hours prior to the service on Saturday at the Roberts Funeral Home, 631 Main Street in Wellsville.

A memorial service planned by his many friends in Las Vegas will also be held there on February 10th, 2018.
