Paul Salvatore Pezzote, known as Paulie to his close friends and family, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family at home on May 27, 2021, after a long, courageous battle with cancer. He was born on April 6, 1953 in Springfield, MA, where he began his life deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. Paul was a true believer that family and friendships were everything in life, and demonstrated that right up through his last days. He worked for many years as a Sales Manager for Commercial Distributing in Westfield, MA, as well as a realtor, constantly mentoring and encouraging all with whom he had the privilege to work. Paul loved people, and they loved him. He was always there for anyone in need. Paul loved to share stories and memories with family and friends and reminisce about old times. He was also an avid lover of the beach and sports. He especially enjoyed watching the New England Patriots and Boston Celtics with his family. Paul leaves behind his son Nicholas and his wife Amanda of Hudson, his former spouse and caregiver, Cynthia Authier-Pezzote of Chicopee, his brothers and their partners- John Jr., Robert and his wife Linda, Ronald and his wife Linda and Michael and his husband Jimmy Giacomuzzi, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his father John Sr., his mother Anna and his twin sister Patricia. Paul will be forever missed, but his memory will live on in the many lives that he touched. There will be a Mass of Catholic burial on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, at 10 AM, in St. Stanislaus Church, Chicopee, followed by burial in Calvary Cemetery, Chicopee, MA. Per Paul’s wishes, there will be no wake. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in Paul’s name to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to continue the fight against cancer. The family would like to mention a special note of gratitude to Patricia Pietras, Paul’s former sister-in-law, for her constant support, love and care to Paul and family during this very difficult time. Thank you also to Beacon Hospice for their compassion and care- especially Samantha and Cheryl. Rest in the most heavenly peace, Paulie. As Paul would always say to get a laugh out of someone, “Who loves ya, baby?” Well, we love you enough to fill up the whole sky.
