Rudy passed away peacefully on April 17, 2024. He was born on November 20, 1939, as the second child of his parents, Lillian, and Joseph Cusmano, both deceased. He is survived by his brother Sam (Dorthy) and sister, Joyce. His wife of 43 years, Janice Bisby Cusmano, Lovingly cared for Rudy; they shared a great love for each other. Rudy’s children Steven (Debbie), Joe (Robin), and Christine, have many wonderful and happy memories of their dad.
Rudy adored his three grandchildren: Rudolph “Gino” Giovanni Obarto, Giovanni Joseph Cusmano, and Gisselle Lily Cusmano. He took great pride in their accomplishments and was always rooting in the stands at their plays, concerts, baseball, football, soccer, wrestling, and volleyball events.
He served in the United States Marine Corps at an early age and was stationed in Okinawa. Rudy worked for Ford Motor Company, and then Tenibac-Graphion from which he retired several years ago.
A man that anyone could call and Rudy / Papa would be there to fix it.
Rudy was proud of his Italian and Serbian heritage and enjoyed family celebrations. The family appreciates the condolences and prayers from all his many cousins and friends.
