Obituary of Paul Angelo Lacitinola Sr.

Paul was born to Ruby and Angelo Lacitinola in San Jose, CA, on December 2, 1942. He graduated from Chico High School in 1960 and lived the vast majority of his life in Chico. He was the owner of several small businesses in the Chico area most notably the Hootch Hut in Paradise, CA, and Cafe Paulo Coffee in Chico, CA.

"Big" Paul is survived by his three children, "Little" Paul Jr., Zen, and Corey. He is also survived by his sister, Sandee Bettencourt. All of his survivors were with him on his final evening of life that he spent at home. Paul was involved in his son's lives from little league to providing jobs and training in business. He was a supporter of the endeavors that they pursued on their own as adults. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Angelo, Grace, and Maddie.

We appreciate all of the kind words and condolences from friends and family. Graveside services for the family are yet to be determined.
