Joseph S. Sico

Joseph Stephen Sico, 80, of Kensington, N.H., formerly of East Cambridge and Amesbury, MA, passed away Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family.

Mr. Sico was the devoted husband of Joanne (Quinn) Sico, with whom he shared 59 wonderful years of marriage.

Mr. Sico was born in Boston, March 12, 1945, the youngest of nine children of the late Pasquale and Margaritte M. (Aufiero) Sico. He attended the Putnam School in Cambridge and graduated from Cambridge Latin High School in 1963, holding the title of class president.

He proudly served three years in the U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, Calif., as a field music drummer, retiring in 1969 with the rank of corporal.

A lifelong lover of music, Mr. Sico for several years was an active member of the drum line and later a drum corps instructor for the St. Mary’s Annunciators of Cambridge, Cambridge Caballeros Drum & Bugle Corps as well as drum corps in California during his military service. He enjoyed traveling to drum corps competitions across the country in later years.

For many years, Mr. Sico, alongside his brother Francis, co-owned and operated Sico’s Express, a Cambridge-based moving and furniture refinishing company founded by his father that continues today under the leadership of his sons Pasquale and Joseph.

Raised in the Italian Catholic tradition, he was a devoted parishioner and longtime lector at St. Joseph’s Church in Amesbury for many years, where he and his wife also spearheaded the parish’s annual Italian Night fundraising dinner.

Cooking was among his great passions, and he took enormous pleasure in hosting bountiful family dinners on Sundays, holidays and virtually any day of the week when family or friends stopped by for a visit. In the late-1980s, he and his wife, Joanne, operated Pasquale’s Pasta Shop in downtown Amesbury, where he shared his array of homemade Italian specialties with the community.

Mr. Sico was a skilled master craftsman with meticulous attention to detail, a devout fan of the New England Patriots, and a music enthusiast with a special love for the sound of big bands and marching bands. Above all else, his greatest joy was his family. He cherished his role as Dad and Papa, and treasured time with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchild and extended family, holding them all closest to his heart.

Mr. Sico’s kindness, humor and generous spirit touched everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered and forever celebrated by his family, friends and all who were fortunate to make his acquaintance.

In addition to his wife, Joanne, he is survived by four children, Pasquale Sico and his wife, Sonya Vartabedian Sico, of Amesbury, MA; Joseph Sico of Hampton, N.H.; Kathryn Sico and her husband, Jamie Provost, of Merrimac, MA; and James Sico, of Los Angeles, Calif. He also leaves five grandchildren, Shawn Teal and his wife, Molly Teal, of Salisbury, MA; and Isabella DiGennaro, Joseph DiGennaro, Amelia Provost and James Provost, all of Merrimac, MA; and one great-granddaughter, Quinn Teal, all of whom adored their Papa and were his world. He was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first great-grandson in early 2026.

He is also survived by his sisters- and brother-in-law, Virginia and Gregory O’Keefe, of Stoneham, MA, and Dorothea Quinn, of Salisbury, MA; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sisters Marjorie, Jenny, Autelia “Delia,” Michelina “Mickey” and Theresa; brothers Pasquale, David and Francis; sisters-in-law Catherine Quinn and Patricia Rose, and brothers-in-law William Quinn and William Rose.

Timothy B. Fowler

Timothy Bruce Fowler was born on August 28, 1953, in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and on December 25, 2025, Tim went to his heavenly home following a ten-year struggle with pancreatic cancer.

Tim was the son of Edith (Fowler) Brockelbank and Walter Fowler. He leaves behind his sisters, Karen Murphy, Gayle Iwanicki, and Deb Hay; his brother, Edward Brockelbank; his brother-in-law, Walter Iwanicki; his sister-in-law, Dawn Brockelbank; and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who became family to him. Tim was predeceased by his brothers Walter Fowler, David Fowler, Tracy Fowler, Donald Fowler, and Allen Fowler.

A graduate of Newburyport High School, Tim developed his love for music in the school band, where his talent and interest led him to the North Shore Regional Band and earned him the John Philip Sousa Award for Music. He later continued his education at Northern Essex Community College. And at Hope Community Church, Tim paired his faith with his role as the church organist and choir member.

Tim was a loyal fan of the New England Patriots. He was a season-ticket holder for 42 years, missing only four games. Tailgating before each home game was a ritual he enjoyed; even serving Thanksgiving feasts with friends off the back of his truck. And in 2023, Tim had the distinct honour of being named The New England Patriots Fan of the Year.

He spent his career at Dave Shepherd’s Auto Body, taking on a variety of roles throughout his tenure. His commitment to service extended to his lifelong membership in the Neptune Veteran Firemen’s Association, where he proudly served as both president and treasurer.

Living just moments from the Parker River, Tim enjoyed time on the water. Boating was one of his biggest hobbies, and many days were spent at “the Knobbs,” in the company of fellow boaters, sharing the salt air, easy conversation, and his rich humour.

Tim also had a thoughtful and expressive voice within the community. Through his many articles in the Newburyport Daily News, he shared his insights, opinions, and deep affection for his hometown.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Hope Community Church in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hope Community Church, 11 Hale Street, Newburyport, MA 01950.

Stephen J. Reslewic

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, brother, and uncle of our community. While words can never fully capture the essence of a life, may we remember to honor their legacy and celebrate their achievements.

Stephen is the son of the late Henry and Frances Reslewic of Newburyport. Stephen, born on March 28, 1965, dedicated his life to family, friends, and the pursuit of kindness. He graduated from Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School and pursued advanced studies at Northern Essex Community College where he became proficient in the Spanish language which he used all through his life in all of his pursuits. Throughout his years, he touched many with his compassion, generosity, and unwavering support and to some, his beautiful voice. Whether through cherished moments at family gatherings, acts of service in the community, or simple everyday interactions, Steve left a lasting impression that will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Steve spent many years singing at the Immaculate Conception Church. He led the congregation at mass, funerals and was requested to sing at many weddings of community members. Those who heard him sing could not help but stop and tell him or his wife how just hearing his voice was a moving experience. He sang The Lord’s Prayer at his own wedding. His voice was a blessing.

Steve is survived by his loving wife, Suzi Cashman, his sons, Stephen J. Reslewic, Jr. and Michael C. Reslewic along with his brother, Tom Reslewic, sisters Marianne Rockwell, Susan Keatley, Nancy Po***ck, Tracy Currier and brother Jeff Larcombe as well as Sisters-in-Law, Brothers-in-Law and many nieces and nephews. Steve’s guidance will continue to shape the lives of those who remain, and his memory will be cherished always.

Though Steve is no longer with us, his spirit endures in the love and kindness he showed. May we find comfort in the memories we hold and strive to live with the same grace and compassion that Steve exemplified throughout his life.

A celebration of Steve’s life will be held in the Spring. Friends and family will be invited to gather, share stories, and honor the legacy of a truly remarkable individual. In lieu of flowers, donations in Steve's memory may be made to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 7023, Merrifield, VA 22116-7023.
