Rick Pakusch Passed away on June 11, 2022, at age 60. He is predeceased by his mother, Jean Rudy; his babcia, Harriet Skwarczynski; and his ciocia, Anna Przybylek. He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Kathy and their children, Alicia Pakusch, Troy (Kaitlyn) Pakusch, and Shannon Pakusch; granddog MoMo and grandcat Nittany; siblings Michael Rudy, Stanley Rudy, Helen Sarfaty, Harriet DeCoste, Heidi (Jim) Beifus, Erik Pakusch; mother-in-law, Joy Pawlas (Jack Johnson); father-in-law Ken (Ruthy) Gill; brother-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends. Rick was born November 22, 1961 in Rochester, NY where he spent the majority of his life. Rick was self-employed (Pakusch Painting & Contracting Services) as well as working at 'Tween Waters Inn, where he had his Florida family. Rick was an avid fisherman, everyone's Mr. Fix It, and the life of the party. He had a contagious spirit that would get anyone to laugh. He made friends wherever he went, and those who had the pleasure to meet him knew just how genuine he was. He was always willing to help out anyone and would drop whatever he was doing to lend a helping hand. He was an extremely proud father and never missed a chance to show pictures of his granddog, grandcat, and of course his wife and kids. Rick's visitation will be held on Friday, June 17th from 3-6PM, with a Celebration of Life on Saturday, June 18th at 10AM at the funeral home, Bartolomeo & Perotto, 1411 Vintage Lane.
