TUSCALOOSA - Frederick Joseph Rossi, Sr., age 92, of Tuscaloosa, passed away peacefully at his home on November 28, 2016.
He was predeceased by his wife, Julia Mae Pugh Rossi and son, Dr. Frederick Joseph Rossi, Jr.
He is survived by his daughter-in-law, Gail Jakubicek Rossi (the late Frederick); sons, Todd Alexander Rossi (Debbie), Collins Christopher Rossi (the late Patricia) and Clay Thomas Rossi (Elizabeth); grandchildren, Frederick Joseph Rossi, III (Rachel), Joseph Nicholas Rossi, Alexandra Elise Rossi, Christian Parker Rossi (Desirée), Katherine Grace Rossi, Nancy Rossi Blackall (Britton), Olivia Anne Rossi, Isabelle Donovan Rossi, Julia Agatha Rossi and Cecilia Anastasia Rossi; and great-grandchildren, Henry Llewelyn Blackall and Liam Gray McMullin. He is also mourned by his companion, Jean Evans and her daughters, Holly Evans and Hillary Watkins.
Dr. Rossi was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and was a graduate of the University of Alabama and the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He practiced dentistry in Copiague, N.Y. and Vivian, La. before retiring in 1992.
In 1996, he and Julia relocated to Tuscaloosa to be near the university where they met and received their degrees. He was a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
An avid baseball fan and talented player, Fred's opportunity to respond to an invitation to try out for the New York (Baseball) Giants was supplanted by his service in the United States Army during World War II. His favorite teams were the Alabama Crimson Tide and the New York Mets. Many will remember Fred from his years behind home plate handling the radar gun for the University of Alabama baseball team.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 11 a.m., with burial to follow in Sunset Memorial Cemetery with Sunset Funeral Home, a Dignity Memorial Provider, directing.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
