Carl A. Botticelli

Funeral Services & Entombment were held privately for Carl A. Botticelli who died on Saturday, March 26th at the Massachusetts General hospital in Boston, following a long cardiac illness, he was 76 years old.

Carl was a native to Chelsea, where he was born & raised. He was educated at St. Rose Elementary School & then later attended Chelsea High School. Following high school, Carl joined the United States National Guard, something he was very proud of. Carl worked various jobs throughout his life. His passion was always his music. He was very talented whether it was singing, playing the drums and writing songs. His favorite part of his career was performing especially with his acapella group. They would perform all over the North Shore. Carl was working for Butler Express Services at Boston’s Logan Airport, where he was fueling aircrafts. He did this for many years, until his health declined due to his cardiac decompensation. While Carl was retired, he still dabbled with his music which gave him a great deal of pleasure & satisfaction, but his faith was also a very important part of his life. He would attend mass regularly and it provided him with solace. Carl was a gentle soul, who loved his family & friends.

He is the beloved son of the late Andrew J. Sr.  & Antonetta (Caputo) Botticelli. Loving & cherished brother of Andrew J. Botticelli, Jr. of Reading, Andrea C. Gomez & husband Richard of Londonderry, NH, Debra Chiaradonna of Peabody, Martin N. Botticelli & wife Jayne of Salem, Sandra D. Botticelli of Medford & Joseph A. Botticelli & his partner Richard “Rick” Cristo of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces & grandnephews.
