Paul Cannata Obituary
Paul was a United States Navy Veteran who proudly served his country. Working as a Taxi driver, Paul had a great love for the City of Boston and was able to share its quirky charm with all those he met and loved. Paul was an avid Boston Bruins fan and cheered on all the Boston sports teams. He enjoyed striking up conversation and storytelling with anyone, and will be remembered for his dad jokes and his laid back personality.
He will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him, and the world will not be the same without the captivating stories he shared.
Loving father of Daniel Cannata of Florida, John Cannata currently serving in the United States Navy, Ally Cannata of Cape Cod, and Theresa Villanueva of California. Cherished brother of 15 siblings, he is survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends of the Cannata Family.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the visiting hours on Monday, August 18, 2025, from 4-7 PM in the Chapman Funeral Home, 98 Bedford Street, BRIDGEWATER.
Military honor service will be at 4pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Paul may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, or any veteran-related charity of your choice.
