Paul A. Mattuccilli, Jr., age 83, entered peacefully into eternal rest on March 28, 2025 at Niagara Hospice House in Lockport, NY, surrounded by his loving family. Born on September 7, 1941, he was the son of the late Paul A. Mattuccilli Sr and Madeline Mattuccilli.
Paul graduated from Trott Vocational High School and joined the United States Army during the Vietnam War. After his honorable discharge, he was employed by the Carborundum Company for over 35 years prior to his retirement.
Paul was a devout Catholic and longtime parishioner of St. Leo’s Parish. He was an avid New York Yankees fan and had a love for animals, especially his cats and the care he gave to strays. He also looked forward to warm sunny days to sitting on his porch and talking with his neighbors.
Above all, Paul was a deeply proud Veteran who held an unwavering love for his country. He consistently exemplified his patriotism.
Paul is survived by his children, Paul A. Mattuccilli III and Kira (Bob Burke) Mattuccilli; his loving sister, Marie Mattuccilli-Bax, whom they shared a close bond. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Krystal Burke, Nicholas Burke and Paul A. Mattuccilli IV; his niece and nephew, Vicki and Tim Bower, and their children, Ryan and Alyssa, all whom he shared a special bond with. Paul was especially proud of his nephew, Ryan, who is currently serving in the United States Army. In addition, Paul is also survived by his Aunt Lillian Tamburrino and several cousins.
The Mattuccilli family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all the staff of Niagara Hospice House for their continuous compassion and care during Paul’s final weeks.
