(KENT/PENFIELD/WEBSTER)
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of Paul Zeppetella on May 31, 2026. He was born in Bai Latina, Naples Italy and immigrated to the United States in 1956.
Paul loved his family first but his next love was being a fan of the Buffalo Bills. His dream was to live long enough to have them win a Super Bowl. He will now have to watch from above. He fulfilled the American Dream by owning and Operating Zeppetella Tile and Marble for almost 30 years. He was so proud of this Country and so knowledgeable about its history. Ask him anything about trivia, sports or music and he knew the answer. Mr. Zeppetella was predeceased by his parents: Olindo and Annunziata (Russo) Zeppetella, his brothers: Joseph and Enrico Zeppetella and brothers-in-law: Dan Keough and John D’Alonzo.
He is survived by his loving wife of almost 58 years, Suzanne (Sue) Keough Zeppetella, his children: Paul (Jodi) Zeppetella, Carolyn Odaolvic and his most cherished grandchildren: Marina Zeppetella, Stefan Odalovic, Aleksandar Odalovic, his great grandchildren: X’Aviyon, Aviannie, Dior, Tru’Enzo, Italy and his sisters: Stefanina (Joseph ) Mattia, Celia D’Alonzo and Josephine Valenzo, sister-in-law: Judi Papaizan and Ed Papaizan as well as many dear nieces and nephews, step grandchildren, and great grandchildren, especially Jayden. He is also survived by Rebecca Lane (Marina’s mother,) and his life-long friends of over 60 years: Tony, Amedeo, John, Ron and Marco.
The family will receive friends at the Christopher Mitchell Funeral Home, 21 West Avenue-Albion, THURSDAY June 4, 2026 from 4-7 pm. Family and friends are invited to attend Paul’s Mass of Christian Burial in Holy Family Parish-St. Joseph’s Church, FRIDAY June 5, 2026 at 10 am. Interment will follow in Mt. Albion Cemetery.
