Frank Joseph Paparazzo (Shorty), 94 passed away, Sunday October 17, 2021.  Frank was born October 31, 1926 in Waterbury to the late Louis and Maria (Alff) Paparazzo. Loving Husband of 55 years to the late Lois (Sacco) Paparazzo.

Starting at a very young age Frank wore many hats throughout his lifetime.  A chicken farmer, milk man, cook, US Marine, paving business, trucking business, skilled equipment operator and inventor.

Frank was involved in many construction projects throughout the area from residential homes to large scale projects, including working side by side with his brothers Henry, Otto, Joe, Louie and a team of people that became lifelong friends as they created Heritage Village in Southbury.

What Frank enjoyed most was spending time with family and friends, frequent trips to the casino with Lois, Sunday dinners, holidays, family reunions, picnics, campouts and the grandkids  weddings which all took place at his house. If you stopped at Frank's house at any time he would make you something to eat even if you weren't hungry.

Frank could always be found shooting the breeze at Dottie's Diner in the morning,  solving the world's problems at Dom's Garage in the afternoons or walking through the flea market on a Saturday.

Frank was a happy man, always whistling wherever he went. He was a kind soul and a gentle man.
