Richard Petrilli Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Casper Funeral & Cremation Services on Jul. 29, 2025.
Richard "Richie" Petrilli, 75, of Hull, passed away peacefully at home on July 27th. He was a graduate of Quincy High School, class of 1969. As a Master Plumber he worked for EH Marchant Plumbing, as well as for Mass. General as a Plumber out of Local 12, Boston.
Richie was a boating enthusiast his whole life, and a member of the "Braintree Yacht Club". He and his wife Patsy could be seen all summer boating on his 36' Uniflight, named "The Mary E", from Braintree, to Boston to Cape Cod. He also loved his 1969 GTO, and attended car shows whenever he could. During the winter months, they spent their time at their condo in St. Petersburg FL. They loved traveling up the coast to Daytona to see the races there. His easygoing way and sense of humor made Richie friends wherever he went. During his down time, he loved his bowl of ice cream while watching old TV shows such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza and The Three Stooges.
Richie is survived by his loving wife of 48 years Patricia "Patsy" (Moriarty) Petrilli. He was the son of the late Lawrence and Dorothy (Pitts) Petrilli. Brother of Barbara Rae, his twin sister Roberta (Tom) Golden and the late Dorothy Lavender, Larry and James Petrilli. He was Godfather to Marlene Carvello and Jay Petrilli. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Rich and Pat were two of the kindest person I have met n a long time. He and his wife made my stay at Seminole Gardens so much fun. Love them both from my heart of hearts. My heartfelt love and sympathies to Pat and her family.

Pat call anytime if there is anything I can do. I´m hoping to find a rental there again
So maybe I´ll see you there. God Bless.

With much love and sympathy
