Vito Melchiorre Mutolo, 88, an architect and Army vet formerly of Bedford, died at his home in Watkinsville, Ga., on Feb. 3. By his side was his wife of 57 years, Patricia (Terrell). Together, the couple raised three sons, and are grandparents of six.

Mutolo was the son of an Italian immigrant, Vincent Mutolo, born in Sicily and who immigrated to New York through Ellis Island, and Angelina F. Monti, a first-generation American of Sicilian heritage. He grew up in Queens and graduated from The Cooper Union with a degree in art and architecture, and a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Pratt Institute.

Mutolo served in the Army as a surveyor in the early 1960s and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany. 

His career as an architect included work for three firms, where he designed and helped manage the production of scores of complex projects including the Eighth Avenue entrance to New York Pennsylvania Station, multiple residences and residential additions in Westchester County and multiple municipal buildings in the New York tri-state area. Independently, he also designed projects for his family. 

Mutolo met Patricia Ann Terrell in New York in 1964, and were married in Manhattan in June 1968. After living on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, they moved to Yonkers, where they raised three sons, Peter, Paul and Christopher, before moving to Bedford in 1991. They relocated to Watkinsville in 2023.

Mutolo was a consummate New Yorker, his family said. After moving north to Westchester, he continued working in Manhattan for many years. He shared his knowledge and love of the city with his sons and grandchildren. He loved painting in watercolor, especially the scenes of mountains and lakes from his Adirondack home. 

He is survived by his wife, Patricia, and sons Peter (Shelby), Paul (Jennifer), and Christopher (Danielle). Also his older brother, Frank Mutolo, six grandchildren and other family members.

A memorial service for family and friends will be held Saturday, May 3, at noon, at Christ Church, located at 17 Sagamore Road, Bronxville, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to people’s local first responders, or a charity of their choice, in memory of Mutolo.
