In Loving Memory of Joseph Ruscitti

Joseph Ruscitti was a beloved friend and healthcare worker at Staten Island University Hospital. Joseph has worked with numerous departments throughout his tenure with this facility; however, as of the last few years, he worked on Unit 3A and formed very close relationships with all the employees who worked there. Joseph was known to be a hard worker with a positive attitude, kind spirit, good heart, and jovial personality. He was always making his coworkers laugh and encouraged unity in our work environment. He was very welcoming to all that came through the unit. He touched the lives of all his colleagues and the numerous patients that he cared for.

Joe was excitedly anticipating the birth of his first child, who is due to arrive within the next month. He was happily making preparations alongside his loving and wonderful wife, Nicole. He was excited to become a father. Joe was extremely thrilled to begin this next chapter in his life. He frequently expressed his joy, which we all collectively shared, and he kept his peers updated.

Joe loved his wife and family very deeply, that was no secret. He shared his love for life and the future with us all.  His untimely demise on May 17th, 2020 was both shocking and heartbreaking to all that know him; he will be deeply missed.

This campaign was set up on behalf of his coworkers and friends. Please help us raise money to support his wife during this difficult time as she continues to prepare for the arrival of their first child, a daughter. We understand that these are difficult times; however, if you can find it in your heart to share this campaign and donate what you can, no amount is too small. All your love and support is greatly appreciated!
