Mark S. Nozzolillo

Mark S. Nozzolillo "Nuzzy", 59 of Thompson, CT., passed away unexpectedly on Monday, June 22, 2020.

Mark was born in Worcester, to the late Vincent J. “Jim” and Esther M. (Santa Maria) Nozzolillo.  He was a graduate of North High, class of '78, attended Berkley College of Music in Boston pursuing his passion as a musician while working for Caprera Construction Company, later graduating from Quinsigamond Community College with a degree in Respiratory Therapy. Mark began his career at the former Worcester City Hospital then worked the majority of his 30+ years at UMass Hospital and most recently at St. Vincent Hospital. He will be greatly missed by all his past and present co-workers.

Mark was an accomplished musician, singer, and songwriter sharing his talent over the years in various bands and most recently entertaining us rocking out with his band "Nuzzy“. Now he will be rocking the heavens.

He was a member and enthusiastic supporter of Team Hoyt, Tri-State Running, and New England Riders Motorcycle Group where many lifelong friendships began.  Mark was a history buff, especially Korean War History always honoring his father's service during that time. Mark loved music, old movies, comedies, woodworking, cooking, his friends, and his family.

(Chenevert) Nozzolillo; sons, Miles Nozzolillo (Krysta Jovan) of Thompson, CT, Dallas Nozzolillo of Putnam, CT. and Talon Asquith of Sturbridge; his brother, Victor Nozzolillo of Worcester.  He was the most adored “Puppa” to Quinton, Skiilar, Emmitt and Lucca. He will be greatly missed by his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law, cousins and friends, too numerous to count.  Mark was predeceased by his son Quinton Asquith and two brothers, Jim and Vincent Nozzolillo, II.
