About Our Founder

Ralph A. Mattiola Born in1921, Ralph A. Mattiola was a strong, stout, athletic youth (nicknamed “Beef”) who went on to play and captain his college football team at Franklin and Marshall College from 1940 to 1942. His college days were disrupted by his enlistment in the U.S. Army and, in 1942, was deployed to England for D-Day preparations. Ralph was promoted to Sergeant prior to landing in Harve, France approximately 1 month after D-Day as part of the 720th Field Artillery Battalion. On their way to Berlin, Ralph and his company liberated several concentration camps and French towns. At the conclusion of the war, Ralph was designated Mayor of Haag, Switzerland where he performed this function until the town was stabilized by its own newly-elected mayor. Ralph was honorably discharged from the Army in 1945 and returned to Franklin and Marshall to resume his academic and athletic careers. He received All American honors for his outstanding play as an offensive guard and defensive linebacker and was inducted into the Franklin and Marshall Sports Hall of Fame in 1974. Rose Mary met her husband, Ralph, in 1945 and has been the driving force for both companies for many years. Together, they raised two sons, Robert and Steven, current President and Executive Vice President of Mattiola Construction. Rosemary acted as both companies’ bookkeeper and controller until her retirement in 1990.
