Joseph C. Pascuzzi, 79, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025, at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, surrounded by the love of his family. Born and raised in Niagara Falls, he was the beloved son of the late Carmine and Antonetta (Luciani) Pascuzzi.

A lifelong resident of Niagara Falls, Joe attended local schools and graduated from the former LaSalle Senior High School.

On August 19, 1989, Joe happily married the love of his life, Yvonne A. (Davey) Pascuzzi, in the Town of Niagara.

Joe dedicated over 36 years of service as a driver with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA), where he was admired by colleagues for his professionalism and mentorship. He took pride in his management role and looked forward to training new drivers.

Outside of work, Joe was a man of many passions. He held an amateur HAM radio license and enjoyed connecting with fellow enthusiasts across the airwaves. He was also a skilled leather craftsman and enjoyed collecting toys and gadgets that sparked his joy. Above all, Joe cherished time with his family, who will miss him deeply.
