Eugene A. Zussy, 60, of Rochester, passed away on January 20, 2016 after a long and most courageous battle with A.L.S. He was the longtime companion of Linda Rounseville.
Born in New Bedford, he was a son of the late Armand and Marcelle Zussy Hebert.
He was the co-owner of Zussy Brothers Ship Repair. A jack of all trades, there was nothing he couldn’t do or figure out and was always there to lend a helping hand. He loved his animals (who were a great comfort to him in his life) and also enjoyed cooking, planting his garden, fishing and spending time on his boat.
His companion would like to thank all who were on board in his brave battle. His great Indian strength and presence will be missed by all who knew him.
