Paul L. Vittorella

Paul L. Vittorella, age 81, of Cuyahoga Falls, OH passed away unexpectedly on March 14, 2025. Paul was born on June 29,1943 in Akron, OH to parents, Walter and Josephine Vittorella.

Everything Paul did in life, he did with dedication and joy. He was loyal, kind, and always willing to help anyone in need. With over 40 years of experience in manufacturing and molding design, he built a career marked by commitment and skill. For 15 years, he also served as president of his homeowners association, leading with care and integrity. After retirement, he found great enjoyment working at Quality Body Shop.

Paul’s passions in life were many—golfing, bowling, and serving as president of the Wahoo Square Dancing group. He cherished playing cards with family and friends and took immense pride in keeping his home, landscaping, and vehicles in pristine condition. Most recently, he found joy in working on puzzles, taking leisurely walks, and cherishing his Friday traditions—morning breakfasts with neighbors and evening dinners with friends. He had a great sense of humor and could always bring a smile to those around him. He also appreciated life’s simple pleasures, often savoring a good Whiskey Sour or a Yuengling—always preceded by his signature toast: “Nostrovia.”

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, loving wife Dee, cousin Dennis Benson and Aunt Sister Joyce Lusnak.

Paul is survived by his children, Paula(Matt) Livigni, Julie Vittorella, Jody Vittorella, Rebecca(Jeff Kulhanek) English, Tim Gojkov and Robert(Jean) Gojkov; grandchildren, Tyler and Carson Smith, Loren and Rhianna English, Jacob Gojkov and many cousins.
