My deepest sympathy to the Family, I grew with up with the Fuccy’s. I’m sadden to hear of Jim’s passing, my prayers and thoughts are with the family. God bless you all in this sad time.
Janie, Angie & Susie I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember all the fun we all had many years ago when I worked for Dr. Purewal. He would always make me laugh. Please except my sincere sympathy.
My sincere condolences to the Fuccy family. Had quite a few years and miles of memories with “Bulldog”. He will be truly missed by many including Mad Hatter. R.I.P.
We are very sorry about your loss. I am keeping all of yens in my thoughts and prayers! Spread your wings and fly high Mr. Fuccy! I said a prayer to my parents and told them to welcome him through the golden gates. He will be watching over all of yens.
Janie, Angie, Susie,and all family, All of you have been lifelong friends and our families have been as family. You all have hearts of gold and the most loving, giving people. So many memories of years growing up, parents, ethnic and religious traditions, hometown events, good times celebrated, as well as, difficult circumstances and losses experienced–always there at heart and spirit for each other. I’ll never forget Jim’s smile and his always friendly ways. Death is not an ending and love never dies. From a poem I wrote for my mother, I said…..”No more sorrow, no more pain, health, beauty, wisdom all regained. When my call from here is done, we again will be as one. Please wait for me with open arms and your sweet kiss, caress again we will in eternity’s bliss.” I am always here for you. I care; friendship, love, blessings for all time. Mary Ann (Zumer) Reese and all family

Janie, So sad to read about the passing of Jim. My deepest condolences you and the family. Craig Heaton
To the Fuccy family, I just read Jim’s obituary in the paper and I am sorry I did not make it to offer my condolences. I can honestly say that he was one of the best patients I cared for when I worked at WMC. He was always in a good mood and funny. I know you all were very loved and he was so proud of his girls. May the Peace of Christ be with you through these tough times. Ruth

“Fuss” was a wonderful person who always found the time to socalize with the underclassmates at NCHS. His humor & friendly personality will be missed by many. His passing is a great loss. May he rest in the arms of our Lord.
The entire Fuccy Family, I sincerely pay my respects to a genuine person who always had a great sense of humor and honor to his loved ones.. Angie, I apologize for not seeing you all in person. Lord willing, I will see you again someday. Take strong hold of your ma and contact me anytime if I could help. Sorry for your father’s early ship-off to heaven indeed! In all due respect, Kris.
Mary Jane & Family, Debi and I are very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. The times we spent with him & our family are full of fond memories. May the Lord bless you all. Love, Rexie
Although I have been back to New Cumberland only a few times over the past 53 years, and then for funerals in my family. I will never forget sitting alongside or hiding behind Jim to keep Granny Marshall or Miss Brandon from seeing who was making the fuss. We were mischievous but harmless kids and we had a lot of laughs in and out of school. Jim was a classy person and true to his family and community. Over the ensuing years, I will always think fondly of Jim Fuccy. Rest in peace my friend.
I grew up with Jim and he was such a fun and caring person. God bless the family left behind.
