William M. Fittipaldo 1948-2025

WARREN — William Martin Fittipaldo, 76, affectionately known as “Bill” to his family and friends, passed away at home on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025, with his family by his side, due to complications of COPD.

Bill was born on Dec. 17, 1948, in Warren, a son of Sam and Dorcas Fryer Fittipaldo.

Bill’s early years were spent making many friends. He and his friends hung out at his house and partied in the backyard “shack” that his brothers and dad built. Eventually, the parties extended to the house where Bill and his wife, Linda, met.

Bill’s first job was working at his father’s car lot, “Newest Used Cars.” Later, he worked for a short time at the Lordstown GM plant and retired as a shipping foreman at USG Corporation. His favorite passion was collecting baseball cards and was only four cards short of having a full set of the 1952 Bowman graded cards. He enjoyed watching sports of all kinds and liked traveling to Las Vegas to try and hit the big one. Bill enjoyed special vacations to Myrtle Beach with his wife and daughter. Whether it was on vacation or spending quality time at home, Bill cherished the time he spent with those he loved. He will be deeply missed.

Bill will always be remembered by his wife, Linda (Ulrich) Fittipaldo; daughter, Melissa Fittipaldo (boyfriend, Jeremy Booth); brothers, Dennis (Kathy) Fittipaldo and K.C. Fittipaldo; sisters, Sue (Bill) Everett and Sharon (Jim) Finch; and many nieces and nephews. He also will be missed by his fur granddog, Henry, and grandcats, Ella and Summer.
