Phillip Chris Randazzo

Phillip Chris Randazzo, a resident of Beacon, NY, formerly of Peekskill and Mount Kisco, passed away on February 4, 2025 at Putnam Hospital at the age of 81.
He was born in Passaic, NJ on July 31, 1943 to the late Christopher and Pearle (Pizzulo) Randazzo.
His high school years began at Peekskill Military Academy and finished as a graduate of Clifton High School, Class of 1961. It is there where he met his high school sweetheart whom he married and together they had Christopher, David, Todd, and Tracy, before separating. He played clarinet for the Mustang band and marched in the Rose Parade in California in 1960 and played football in high school.
He started out working for his father as a senior project manager in the family construction company, Randall Construction before becoming an independent contractor and starting P.C. Randazzo Construction Company. While working for his father at Randall Construction, his work took him all around the NY/NJ area for such companies as IBM, UniRoyal, and many libraries, public schools and government buildings at Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, NJ and the U.S. Post Office in Newark, NJ.
Phil had the opportunity to attend the New Jersey State Police Academy with extremely high marks on his entrance exam, but ultimately he enjoyed working with his dad and stayed on at Randall, running major construction projects. He was extremely talented with overseeing complicated projects and managing the many workers of varying trades required to get the job done. He was meticulous with numbers and calculations. Phil was incredibly proud of starting his own business, P.C. Randazzo Construction Company. He continued working in construction until a back injury made the strenuous physical work too difficult.
Later, Phil had another son, Joseph, and was especially passionate about coaching him in baseball and bowling. Phil was an avid golfer and bowler. He loved few things more than the NY Yankees. He loved cars and his midnight blue 1964 GTO drop top with white interior was a special point of pride.
In his later years, he was PopPop to his grandchildren, pursued passion projects, spent time with friends, and always had a story to tell. He left an indelible impression on all who knew him and will be very much missed.
Phil Randazzo was larger than life to all who knew him and passed peacefully after making an unforgettable mark on this world.
Survivors include his son, Joseph Randazzo & his wife Christina of Wappingers Falls; his son, Christopher Randazzo & his wife Pamela of Millville, NJ; his daughter, Tracy Shinabery & her husband Craig of Defiance, OH; his son, David Randazzo & his wife Maryann of Millville, NJ; his son, Todd Randazzo of Millville, NJ; his grandchildren: Kate, Rory, Stephanie, Christina, Lara, and Linnea; his great-grandchildren: Steven, Jonathan, Kayden, Kora, and Kooper; his siblings: Patrick Randazzo & his wife Patricia and Christine Donofrio; as well as several nieces & nephews and many other loving relatives & friends.
Phil was preceded in death by his parents as well as his brother, Paul Randazzo, and brother-in-law, Michael Donofrio.
Services will be scheduled for a later date.
