Montefusco, Mattia C.

Mattia C. Montefusco of Windsor Locks, beloved husband of Lynda A. Montefusco, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family and friends on February 18, 2022. Born in Springfield and the youngest of 12 children, Mat grew up in the South End where he and his friends got into endless trouble and forged lifelong friendships. Mat was a food and beverage manager at several local establishments before opening his own restaurant “Mattie's Place” in Windsor. Mat later worked for Federal Express as a senior courier and, not one to retire, later worked tirelessly at Sacred Heart Church in Suffield removing pesky fingerprints on the glass windows and doors. Besides his loving wife Lynda, he is survived by his daughter Debra Cass and her husband Andrew; his son Carl Montefusco and his wife Laura; his devoted niece, Melissa; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews; his best friend, Mike Foroschino who never left Mat's side after he became ill; his close friend Doug Viets (“Houston we have a problem!”); and many friends who were like family. Mat was loved by all who knew him, always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell, but most of all Mat was known for his love and devotion to his wife Lynda, whom he adored. A memorial Mass will be held on Friday March 11, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. at Sacred Heart Church, 446 Mountain Road, Suffield. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mat's honor to: Smilow Cancer Center/Yale New Haven Health (www.givetoynhh.org). Nicholson & Carmon Funeral Home has care of arrangements.
