Obituary of George E Rossi
George Edward Rossi, 79, of Vineland passed away at home on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, with his family by his side. George had been under Bayada Hospice Care for the last seven weeks.
He was born in Vineland to the late Antoinette (Raimbault) and George A .Rossi. A graduate of Vineland High School Class of 1961, George attended Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA for two years and then joined his father at Rossi Oil Company.
As a young child, George was introduced to fishing by a neighbor and it became a lifelong passion. George would go fishing every chance he had. He was a member of the Highland Anglers Fishing Club for over 31 years, acting as treasurer for 27 of those years.
As a teen, George worked at Rossi Oil doing odd jobs. One Saturday after scraping paint off windows his father gave George a few dollars and dropped him off at the bowling alley on Landis Avenue and the Boulevard there began 25 years of bowling. At one time, George bowled 6 nights a week, he joined Delsea traveling league on Saturday nights and bowled all over South Jersey, he also bowled in the National Bowling Tournaments which were held all over the US.
In his late thirty's, George began to shoot Skeet and Trap and later on Sporting Clays. For the last 40 years shooting clay Targets has been the object of his attention. George always said there were no finer friends then those he made at Quinton Gunning Club.
George would be the first to tell you that he had a wonderful life. From spending summers at his grandmother's home on Pancoast Mill Road and playing with life long friends in Vineland, to marrying Betsey and gaining a family that gave him much joy.
George is survived by his wife Elizabeth "Betsey" (Richter) Rossi, together 44 years; his daughters Nancy Noll (Joe) and Brenda Farside (Eve); grandchildren, Trevor Biglin, Joshua Noll (Alexis) and Ava Najdanovic and his great-grandson Noah Noll. George cherished his grandchildren and the time he spent with them, giving them all his wisdom even if they didn't ask for it. George is also survived by many cousins and friends.
George had the ability to make his every day experiences into a story, from his travels to people he met; well this is the End of the Story.
