Paul R. Vallillo "Paulie V"

"Loving father, friend, brother & son"

Devoted attorney, educator, and beloved member of the community, Paul R. Vallillo, 60, of Prospect, CT entered into the gates of Heaven on Friday August 29, 2025 surrounded by his loving children.

Paul was born on January 26, 1965 in Waterbury, CT son of Mary (Manzo) Vallillo and the late Richard Vallillo. Paul was a graduate of Holy Cross High School, Class of 1983. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from Fairfield University in 1987, and later his Juris Doctor from Western New England School of Law in 1990.

Paul will be remembered not only for his accomplishments in law and education but also for his kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering dedication to those he served and taught. He will most importantly be remembered for being a fiercely loyal friend who gave the best advice.

With a deep commitment to justice and service, Paul established and operated his own firm, The Law Offices of Paul R. Vallillo, where he diligently represented his clients for many years. Known for his professionalism, compassion, and integrity, he built a respected legal career and earned the trust of colleagues and clients alike. In addition to practicing law, Paul shared his knowledge and passion for legal studies as an Associate Professor at Post University, where he inspired and mentored countless students on their academic and professional journeys.

Besides his mother Mary Vallillo of Wolcott, CT, Paul leaves to honor and cherish his memory his son Matthew P. Vallillo and his wife Aneri Shah of Austin, TX; a daughter Angela M. Jones and her husband Michael of Somerville, MA; brother Mark Vallillo of Prospect, CT; sister Deanne Vallillo of Baltimore, OH; several cousins, nieces, and nephews; and the mother of his children, Lori Vaill of Cheshire, CT.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful physicians, nurses, and staff of Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven, CT. A special thank you to Dr. Blaine Huss, Dr. Seth Clohosey, Chelsea S., RN from VITAS, and Amy from Anam Cara.
