Richard B. Pezzullo, age 93, joined his soulmate, Beverly, on December 29, 2023.
Richard was the loving husband of the late Beverly J. (Gustafson) Pezzullo for 59 years.
He was the beloved son of the late Pasquale Pezzullo and Clementina (Riccio) Pezzullo.
A longtime resident of North Scituate, Richard honorably served his country during the Korean War after joining the Navy. After returning home in 1954, he was employed as a certified dental technician for many years. Richard opened up his own dental practice in 1976 and operated the business up until his retirement in 2015. In his free time, he enjoyed tending to his and Beverly's beautiful yard, baking pizza and wine biscuits, watching Westerns, and spending a day at the pool with his grandchildren. A man of few words, he showed affection by taking particular care of the things he loved; his home, his vehicles, his patients, and – most of all – his family. He will be deeply missed.
Richard leaves behind his loving son Jon R. Pezzullo and his wife Debra Pezzullo, as well as his beloved grandchildren Karena and Nicolas. He is also survived by his brother Eugene Pezzullo and his wife Phyllis. Richard is predeceased by his brother Anthony Pezzullo and his sister Elena Smith.
Service details will be announced at a later date.
