Thomas K. Fusco

25 January 1959 – 26 December 2024

The YLPA is heartbroken to advise our membership of the tragic death of our neighbor and friend, Tommy Fusco.

On the morning of 26 December 2024, the joyful life of Thomas K. Fusco was taken from all who loved him. He was 65 years old.

Tom was born on 25 January 1959 in Passaic, New Jersey, the son of Virginia Tomeio Fusco and Ralph Gary Fusco. He grew up and graduated from Saddlebrook High School in New Jersey.

Tom worked many years for the New York State Police Troop F in Middletown, where he had been named Civilian of the Year for 2024. He had only recently retired after over 20 years of service.

Tom is remembered as a kind, genuine person with a love of the outdoors. He enjoyed all outdoor activities — motorcycling, hunting and fishing. He was extremely efficient and a true Mr. Fixit. If he could look at it, he could fix it.

He lived his life fully, loving the company of family, friends and cherished cats Bella and Coco. He was a great father, son, brother, uncle and friend. All who knew and loved him are devastated by the incredibly violent loss of Tom.

Tom is survived by his beloved son, Kevin; Elizabeth Nowes, his true love and best friend; his parents Virginia and Ralph; brother Robert Louis Fusco and his girlfriend Brenda; sister Georgetta Walsh and her husband John; and his nieces Olivia and Grace Fusco; and nephew Luke Walsh and his wife Fatima; and his cherished and many friends.

Memorial contributions in Tom’s name may be made to the Yankee Lake Preservation Association, Inc. P.O. Box 558 Wurtsboro, NY 12790.
