Paul Vallone, a well-respected figure in local leadership and former City Councilman, passed away at the age of 56 on January 27, 2024, due to a sudden heart attack. He had been serving as New York City’s Veterans Services deputy commissioner.
During his three terms as City Councilman from 2014 to 2021 in Queens’ District 19, Vallone made a significant impact, particularly in improving education. He worked hard to expand school capacities by 4,500 seats and bring back the New York City Council Merit Scholarship, benefiting many students with up to $350 per semester.
Tributes from political figures, including Mayor Eric Adams and Borough President Donovan Richards Jr., poured in, acknowledging Vallone’s meaningful contributions to the community.
Born on June 2, 1967, to Peter Vallone Sr. and Tena Vallone, Paul Vallone came from a family deeply rooted in public service and Queens’ political history. His father, Peter Vallone Sr., was the City Council’s first speaker, and his grandfather, Charles Vallone Sr., was a former civil court judge. Paul grew up in New York City with his three siblings: Peter, Perry, and Paul.
After completing his schooling in 1985, Vallone pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Public Administration at Fordham University. He continued his education at St. John’s University School of Law, earning a Juris Doctor, driven by his interest in the legal field.
