Edward D. Mattuchio

Mr. Edward D. Mattuchio, age 81, of Ipswich, formerly of Saugus, Middleton and Naples, Florida, passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington.
Born and raised in Everett, Edward was the son of the late Cordalyne (Babe) and Ida (Pantalone) Mattuchio. He was a loyal Operating Engineer member of IUOE Local 4 for 56 years. He enjoyed life, especially spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved to dance, spend his winters in Florida, and he never missed any event involving his grandchildren including sports, dance recitals, ceremonies, all life events or simply hanging out. He was charismatic with a warm smile and his infectious personality touched everyone who knew him. He was kind, generous, spontaneous and well-respected. He loved to entertain his family and friends with a joke or a playful prank to make you laugh. He was an avid fan of all the Boston sports teams, especially football. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will continue to bring happiness to those who will carry his spirit forever in their hearts.
Edward was a devoted father to his three children, Steve Mattuchio and his wife Carla of Reading; Susan Kennedy and her husband Steven of Ipswich; and Kristen MacArthur and her fiancé, Joel of Rowley. Also survived by his cherished and adored grandchildren, Paige and her husband, Casey; Deandra and her fiancé, Tom; Zach, Alicia, William, Jordan, Logan, Emily and Jeremy as well as the mother of his children, Marjorie Mattuchio and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends and a great-grandchild due in November. He was predeceased by his siblings Tina O'Leary, Alfred (Darr) Mattuchio, Dolores (Sis) Catalano and Frank (Bib) Mattuchio.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Edward's memory may be made to The Joslin Diabetes Center at joslin.org.
