PRINCETON – Paul S. Zottoli, 68, of Princeton, died on March 29, 2013 at UMass Memorial Healthcare, Worcester. He was born in Holden, the son of Lena E. (Gabrielli) Zottoli and the late Ernest W. Zottoli.

Zottoli and his wife Mindy of Princeton; his mother, Lena Zottoli of Holden; a brother and very supportive friend, William Zottoli of Princeton; a niece and great-niece, Carla and Gabriela DeFosse. Paul’s family was very special to him and they will all miss him greatly.

He worked as the general manager at the Old Mill Restaurant in Westminister and later owned and operated the William Paul House Restaurant in Holden with his brother Bill.
