Joseph Perrotti, 91, a formerly long-time Maynard, MA resident, died peacefully Friday June 14, 2019 at his Hudson, MA home. He was the husband of the late Margaret A.

Born in Watertown and raised in Woburn, he was the son of the late Ralph and Teresa Perrotti. Mr. Perrotti was retired from Brooks Automation/CTI-Cryogencs, a Helix Technology Company.
