Paul Joseph Tucceri (P.J.), age 64, formerly of Watertown, passed away on October 15th 2026. He was the devoted husband to Cherylann (Tully) and the proud father of Patrick and his wife, Amy. Survived by his mother and best friend, Florence Sementelli (L’Heureux); his late father, William Tucceri Sr.; his darling sister Donna Hurley; and his late brother, William Tucceri Jr. Loving Uncle to Ryan and his wife, Emílíe and Erin Hurley (his favorite niece). Great Uncle to Nox and Ivy Circeo and Henry Hurley. He was also the Grandfather (Papa) to the late Christopher Daskovich Jr. and stepfather to Christopher Sr. 

 

Above all else, he was a loving father and a devoted family man who cherished the time he spent with his loved ones. Whether sharing stories, making memories, or simply enjoying each other’s company, his family was one of the greatest joys of his life.

 

A passionate sports fan, he proudly cheered on the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots. He also had a special love for his Kawasaki motorcycle, enjoying the freedom and thrill that came with the ride, a passion that he shared with his son from an early age.

 

Paul attended Watertown school system then moved on to the North Bennet street trade school to take up carpentry. A skilled carpenter, he took pride in his work and had a talent for building and creating things with his hands. From small projects to entire houses from the ground up. His craftsmanship reflected his dedication, patience, and ability to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary.

 

Those who knew him will remember his personality, his quick wit, and his wonderful sense of humor. Even in his final moments, he continued to make those around him smile and laugh, holding on to the humor that was such a special part of who he was. It was a true reflection of his spirit and the way he lived his life.

 

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known him. Though his passing leaves an immeasurable void, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

 

He leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, laughter, and unforgettable memories. He will forever be loved, forever be missed, and never be forgotten.
