Nicholas "Skip"
GRAFTON - Nicholas "Skip" D. Pafundi, 79, passed away on November 1, 2025. Born on September 13, 1946, in Troy, N.Y., Skip was the beloved son of the late Nicholas and Helen (Fletcher) Pafundi. He was also predeceased by his uncle, Joseph Pafundi; and his cherished wife, Patricia (Malone) Pafundi.
Skip is survived by his loving children, sons, Jesse Pafundi and Jeremy Pafundi; and daughters, Danielle (Pafundi) Kent and Michelle (Pafundi) Mason, who will forever carry his warmth, humor, and strength in their hearts. He was a proud and devoted "Papa" to his cherished grandchildren, Maggie, Addison, Brennan, Griffin, Nolan, Miles, and Nora, all of whom brought immense joy to his life.
A hardworking and dedicated lineman for National Grid, Skip was known for his strong work ethic, reliability, and loyalty to his crew. Beyond his career, Skip's greatest loves were his family, his friends, and his little piece of heaven on earth - Cranberry Pond in Grafton, N.Y., where he found peace, laughter, and countless memories.
Skip's legacy of love, laughter, and dedication will continue to live on through all who were lucky enough to know him.
Funeral services to be held at St. Augustine's Church, on November 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with a Celebration of Life to follow.
