Sebastian J. Matarazzo, 100, widower of Antonina (Sbriglio) Matarazzo, entered into God’s care on Monday, January 15, 2024 in Frisco, NC, surrounded by his family. Subby was born in Hartford and was the son of the late Santo and Carmella (Gionfriddo) Matarazzo. For many years, Subby had worked as a general contractor with his acute carpentry skills.

He enjoyed hunting, boating, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, playing the trumpet and listening to Jazz and Big Band music. Most of all, he loved his wife and spending time with his family, many friends and his pets. He will be remembered for his handsome smile, kindest heart and always lending a helping hand.
