William F. Paldino, 71, of Satellite Beach, FL, passed away at home on November 13, 2025 surrounded by his family after a short illness with a rare, aggressive neurological disease.

Bill was born in New Britain, CT on October 5, 1954 to the late Frank and Lena Paldino. He graduated in 1973 from Pulaski High School and received his BS in Business from Central Connecticut State University and an MBA from the University of New Haven.

Bill spent his entire career in sales and marketing and was planning on retiring from Allnex Corporation in December. Bill loved his job which allowed him to travel to all 50 states and several countries, exploring new places and meeting new people.

Bill met the love of his life, Catherine Peters, the girl next door, in 1975. They married on October 14, 1978 and just celebrated their 47th anniversary. Bill, Cathy, and their son, Frank, lived in Middlefield, CT until relocating to Peachtree, GA in 1998. In 2021, Bill and Cathy relocated to Satellite Beach, FL to be closer to family. Bill and Cathy enjoyed several memorable vacations including cruises to the Caribbean and Alaska and a dream vacation to Italy just this past September.

Bill loved living on the ocean and watching Space Coast launches from the balcony of his home and photographing morning sunrises. His daily routine included a trip to the gym and an evening walk with his Shih Tzu, Louie. Bill was also a proud 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo, even serving as an instructor for a time while living in Georgia.

Last year, Bill took on the title of Grandfather to his granddaughter, Celeste Joy Paldino; and was thrilled for the upcoming arrival of his first grandson, William Fenton Paldino, in January. In addition to his wife, Cathy, Bill is survived by his son, Frank Paldino and partner Morgan Alwan and their daughter Celeste Joy Paldino of Palm Bay, FL; two sisters, Nancy and her husband, John Wasik of Cocoa Beach, FL; Tina Paldino of Titusville, FL; a brother-  and sister-in-law, Michael and Susan Peters of Rutland, VT; a sister-  and brother-in-law, Laurie and Tom Wasik of Sebastian, FL; and three nieces and a nephew and their families. Bill also leaves his dear friends Bill and Vicki Megofna; Ric and P.J. Satterwhite; and Bill's work family and colleagues.

A special thank you for the support of the Health First Hospice caregivers.
