George "Tony" Mattioda

George “Tony” Mattioda passed away Tuesday, July 14th in Redding, CA.  George was married to Carolyn Mattioda (deceased) and is survived by their four children, Theresa Mattioda, Wayne Mattioda, Vincent Mattioda and his wife Adriana , Renee Mattioda,; granddaughters Candace Bingham and  Emily Gillons, and grandson Brandon Mattioda; siblings Renaldo and his wife Mary, John and his wife Darlene, & Lillian.

George was born September 25, 1937 in Lead South Dakota.  His family moved to California in 1942.  He grew up in Vallejo where he met Carolyn Wingfield and they subsequently married and  later settled in Napa.  George was a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters .  He worked nearly 30 years as a semi-trailer truck driver for companies like Red Top Dairy and Nulaid Eggs delivering milk and eggs before retiring in 1986.

George was the ultimate "do it yourselfer" and  loved  working with his hands, including remodeling and building homes.  He and his wife Carolyn moved to Montgomery Creek in Shasta County in the late 1980's where they built a new two story home; which was later destroyed in a fire.  That did not discourage him however, and shortly after he built another home; the one that he has resided in since. 

A service to honor his life will be held today, Tuesday July 21st, 2015 at 11am at the Tulocay Cemetery.  A Reception will be held afterwards at the Tulocay Reception Hall.
