He is a long-time member of the Board of Trustees of Hancock Shaker Village and has served as chairman and on the finance committee, served on the Pittsfield Licensing Board and with many business-related organizations, including as director and treasurer for the Massachusetts State Auto Dealers Association and was National Chairman of the Subaru Dealer Advisory Board. Quattrochi is a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute and served in the United States Naval Reserve as an electronics technician, honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946. He has been honored many times by local organizations. In 1984, he received the Pittsfield Rotary’s David Kagan Award for Service Above Self.

Agar, Jr. Volunteerism Award, having served often as a solicitor for the United Way, as well as being a past member of the allocations committee.
