Charlie Pecorella (Bradenton, Florida), a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on December 26, 2025, in Natick, Massachusetts. He left behind a legacy of warmth, generosity, and joy. Known for his big personality and quick sense of humor, he had an extraordinary ability to connect with people. His life was marked by business success and strong professional partnerships throughout Albion, Brockport, Rochester, and Buffalo. Beyond his work, he was deeply enriched by the personal friendships and connections he nurtured over his 81 years.
Charlie had a passion for collecting, most notably wine and art, and loved sharing these interests with his friends in New York, Florida, and California. His generosity and love for his close friends and family were truly special. Among his greatest joys was his bond with the family dog, Nena. They were inseparable companions.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Phyllis; his son, David, and daughter-in-law, Melissa; his cherished granddaughter, Josie; and of course, Nena. He was predeceased by his parents, Gladys and Matteo Pecorella, by his sister, Shirley Pecorella Coffey, and sister-in-law Prudence Pecorella. His childhood home was in Albion, New York. His surviving siblings are Frances Pecorella Oakes and Matteo Pecorella.
His spirit will live on in the laughter, love, and memories he gave so freely.
