Rodney Mazzei Obituary
Born in Taylor, son of the late John and Palma Monelli Mazzei, he spent most his life in Manhattan and then later in New Jersey before moving back to Old Forge. He was a graduate of Cardinal Hayes High School and a 1965 graduate of Manhattan College, where he earned a degree in accounting. He had a background in accounting and computer software, and for the last 20 years, was self-employed servicing rental property management companies.
Rod was a devoted son, brother and uncle. He was an avid train enthusiast who loved horse racing and the Yankees.
The family would like to thank the staff at Abington Manor and Hospice of the Sacred Heart for their loving care.
Surviving are a sister, Mary Beth Matthews; four nieces, Elizabeth Simmons, Heather Parauda, Allyson Landon and Victoria Magee; great-nieces and great-nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday at 10 a.m. in St. Lawrence Church, 620 S. Main St., Old Forge, to be celebrated by the Rev. August Ricciardi, pastor. Interment will be in the Marcy Cemetery, Duryea.
Friends may call Tuesday, 9 to 10, in the church. The Palermo & Zawacki Funeral Home Inc., 409 N. Main St., Old Forge, is in charge of arrangements.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
