Gathering his family together for meals was important to Anthony Gattuso, so his family will bring coffee and the cream-filled Italian pastries known as pasticiotti to Queen of Heaven Cemetery on Father’s Day. They’ll meet at his mausoleum and talk about their patriarch, the star cook at the family restaurant, Paul’s Pizza & Hot Dogs in Westchester.

He loved having his children and grandchildren around him. In February, during his final days, around 30 relatives camped out with pillows and blankets at his North Riverside home to be close to him. Mr. Gattuso, who had lung cancer, died at 86. “He used to say that was the happiest time of his life, because everybody was with him,” said his daughter Nancy Gattuso.
