James Michael Retucci Jr., 31, of Millsboro, passed away peacefully with his loving parents at his side, Thursday, April 25, 2019, at UPMC-Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburgh.

He was born July 27, 1987, in Waynesburg, a beloved son of James Sr. and Janice Retucci.

James attended Intermediate Unit One Washington, and graduated from Bethlehem-Center with the Class of 2008.

James or “Little Jimmy” as he was affectionately known, was a special young man who had a captivating smile that could “light up a room.” He showed love and affection to all who were fortunate to know him.

James was severely disabled. Now he is free and at rest in heaven, but will live on through others as an organ donor.

His family is most appreciative of the excellent and loving care given Jimmy by his nurses, Peggy and Jamie.

In addition to his parents, James is survived by his grandfather, Melvin Wood of Wayside W.Va.; aunts Sandra (Buddy) Trunzo of Millsboro, Jane (Marilee) Retucci of Washington, Bobbiann (Adolph) Garcia of Fredericktown; uncles Joseph (Debbie) Retucci Jr. of Waynesburg and George (Connie) Wood of Rices Landing; and many cousins.

Deceased are his grandparents, Joseph Sr. and Agnes Retucci; and Ruthann Kowalczyk.

Visitation will be from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27, in Frank Burkus Funeral Home, 26 Mill Street, Millsboro, PA 15348. Services are at 2 p.m. with Pastor James Lewis officiating. Interment will follow in Beallsville Cemetery.

The family suggests memorial contributions to East Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Company, P.O. Box 445, Fredericktown, PA 15333.
