Umberto A Martucci

Umberto A. Martucci, 86, of Natrona Heights, formerly of New Kensington, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of May 17, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born November 25, 1939, he was the son of the late Umberto and Maria (Belli) Martucci.

To many, Umberto was known as a larger-than-life personality, recognized for his presence, style, and unmistakable energy in every aspect of his life.

Umberto built a life defined by hard work, passion, and devotion to family. He was the founder of Roberts Carpeting, Inc., which he established in 1957 in New Kensington before building a new showroom in Springdale in 1964. What began as a necessity became his life’s work and deepest passion. He lived for his business and took immense pride in every aspect of it, building Roberts Carpeting into a trusted name throughout the Pittsburgh region.

Umberto also enjoyed life beyond his work. He was an avid golfer, a longtime member of Longue Vue Club, and a devoted social presence in the community. He was a proud Italian-American and a passionate admirer of fine Italian wine, automobiles, and food.

Above all, he was devoted to his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose greatest pride was the life he built and the people he loved.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan (Borga) Martucci; his children, Gina (Martucci) Gruden and her husband Patrick Gruden, Gregori Martucci and his wife Denise (Jolley) Martucci, and Damian Martucci and his wife Cheyenne (Cheran) Martucci; his grandchildren, Nicole (Gruden) DelGreco, and her husband David DelGreco, Gabriella Martucci, Jacob Gruden and Gianna Martucci; and his great-grandchildren, Francesca DelGreco, Joey DelGreco, and Gio DelGreco.

He is also survived by his siblings, Veronica (Martucci) Bagnato, Mary Anne Martucci, Anthony Martucci, and Madeline Martucci, as well as many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Theresa (Martucci) Bayer.

Umberto’s life was marked by dedication, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to the people around him. His legacy lives on through his family, his business, and the countless lives he touched.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
