Joseph M. Mazzulo, Jr.

Joseph M. Mazzulo, Jr., 66, of Westborough and formerly of Brecksville, OH, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 11, 2020, at the UMass/Memorial Healthcare-University Hospital in Worcester.  He was the beloved husband to Janet M. (McClain) Mazzulo.

Born in Cleveland, OH, he was the son of the late Joseph M. Sr. and Sylvia (Favino) Mazzulo and stepmother Serafina (Lombardo) Mazzulo.

He was a graduate of Brecksville High School in 1971 and received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Bowling Green University in 1975.  His career encompassed First National Supermarkets, Staples (Vice President of Business Processes) and Granite Construction (Sr. Vice President of Business Processes).

Joe was a devoted father and avid car enthusiast.  He co-owned “Need for Speed” for 8 years, a model car raceway which became a wonderful father and son activity for their slot-car obsession.  As an owner of Corvettes over the years, he was a member of NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society), Corvettes United and the Grand Sport Registry.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Joseph M. Mazzulo, III of Westborough; a sister, Joanne DiGuilio and her husband David, of Northfield, OH; and two nieces, Nicole DiGuilio and Krista Hritz and her husband David.
