Furio the guy in the obituary was 89 in 2013. A 1981 NY Times article said the Paul Mazzei arrested with Hill was 37 at the time (1981) which would make him around 71 today if my math is correct. Maybe it was his father in the obit. I see a son Paul Jr listed.

He testified in the 1990 Pittsburgh Mob trial against Chucky Porter & Louis Raucci. Here are a few articles:
