Ottavio G. Mallozzi

Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Ottavio known to many simply as Otto, was truly one of a kind. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, he lived a life defined by unwavering integrity, tireless work ethic, and a deep commitment to those around him. He shared a remarkable life with his beloved wife of many years, Toni Slider Mallozzi. Together, they built not only a family, but a legacy rooted in perseverance, honesty, and mutual devotion.

Ottavio is survived by his sons, Joseph (Mimma) Mallozzi and Antony (Kristin) Mallozzi, and by his cherished grandchildren, Marina, Joseph, Michael, Lisa, and Sofia. His grandchildren were the light of his life and a constant source of pride and joy, and he took great pride in watching them grow and thrive.

He was predeceased by his beloved daughter Lisa, his son Gregory, his grandson Nico, his parents Giuseppe and Concetta (Pensiero) Mallozzi, and his siblings Betty, Lucy, Jeanne, Josephine, Ellen, and Rosario.

A lifelong and extraordinarily hardworking businessman, Ottavio was the owner of Mallozzi Construction Company, Inc. of Stamford, Connecticut, which he built from the ground up alongside his wife through sheer determination, grit, and an unshakable work ethic. He was also the owner of Handy Lube, Inc. His success was never measured solely by achievement, but by the respect he earned and the example he set.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ottavio was known for his boundless generosity and his readiness to help anyone in need. He gave freely of his time, wisdom, and resources, often without seeking recognition. Strong yet gentle, driven yet compassionate, he left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Ottavio Mallozzi’s legacy is one of love, resilience, and quiet greatness and he will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
