The story began on April 13, 1933, for James F. Pascucci (Scooch) Lehigh Acers, FL.  89 years later Jim turned his final page of his life's story on February 3, 2023. Predeceased by his parents, James & Mary; brothers, Louis, Joseph, Dominick, Nicholas, John, Victor; sisters, Edith Kipp, Irene Lewis and Jean Warlick . A native of Batavia NY, a sibling of 12, surviving, Dolores Lanzo and Floyd Pascucci and a long loving marriage to Margaret Ann Pascucci (Mecca) of 64 years.  A long career at Eastman Kodak where he was a tool and die maker.   A father of five children, a grandfather of 8 and great grandfather of 2.  James Pascucci (Williamson, NY); LouAnn (John) Cristillo, grandchildren Amedeo and Marissa; Victor (Sally) Pascucci, grandchildren Alyssa, Andrea and Victor, great grandchildren Dominick and Ruby; Christina (Pascucci) Thomas Baird, grandson Thomas James and Perry Pascucci, grandsons Parker and Aiden. Also many nephews and nieces and many dear life-long friends.

Jim always made you feel welcome and shared numerous stories, jokes and shared delicious homemade Italian cuisine.  A man of many talents, from woodworking, fishing in Gull Lake with his long time best friend Bob Jones (Greece, NY), travelling cross county to Alaska in an RV with Marge, Bob and Paul a Jones; hiking, or spending time with his children and grandchildren…but at the end of the day a Manhattan and a nice cigar, either sitting and talking with his wife, chatting away with his friends, sons or just alone to have some solitude.  There is no doubt, Jim will be sorely missed among family and many friends. Heaven has one of the best souls who will make everyone laugh and who will be looking down on all of us guiding and letting us know he is watching.  Until our paths cross again, we love you, rest in peace Scooch.

A memorial ceremony at 10:30 AM will be held at Holy Cross Church, 4492 Lake Ave, Rochester, NY on June 7, 2023.
