Obituary for Joseph A Marsico
Joseph Anthony Marsico Sr, 75 of Ocean Township passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Thursday, February 2, 2023. He was born on April 20, 1947 in Paterson New Jersey. His parents were Alba Meola and Anthony Marsico of West Paterson.
Joseph was an accomplished man in both the business world, and his personal one. Fueled by his love of creation and armed with a Masters Degree in Business from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Joseph took the world by storm. He brought himself from a young man making patents in his basement in (once rural) West Paterson, to becoming Vice President of several global companies.
While he was achieving these professional successes, he also was establishing his roots and family in the Historic District of Eastside Paterson, NJ. He spent the breath of his life and career living in that area, where he was happily married for 30 years and fathered three children.
After traveling the world for work, he retired to Ocean Township NJ where he embraced his new position as grandpa. This by far was one of his most proudest positions.
He spent the rest of his years enjoying life & making beautiful and cherished memories with his family and loved ones.
He left this world saying “remember I lived a good life with no regrets” and those that were blessed to know him know that’s exactly what he did.
He is predeceased by his wife, Ursula Marsico and sister, Joanne Ferrara and his nephew Chris Ferrara.
He survived by his children, Dawn Marsico, Janine Marsico and Joseph Marsico, Jr.; his son-in-law Ken Downey; his grandchildren, Joey Marsico, Dominic Downey, Brooke Downey & Nathan Downey; his nephew Scott Ferrara & his partner Tatiana Chilayeu.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit from 5-8 pm Wednesday at the Fiore Funeral Home, 236 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, Ocean Township.
