In Loving Memory of Paul

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Paul, a remarkable man whose presence uplifted every life he touched. Paul left this world on November 13th 2025, surrounded by the deep love of his family — a love he spent his life giving so freely and wholeheartedly.

Paul was known by all as the steady, dependable “go-to” man — the one everyone trusted, the one everyone could call, and the one who always showed up. He approached life with sincerity, a realist by his own admission, yet filled every day with kindness, humor, and an unmistakable warmth. To know him was to know loyalty, generosity, and a quiet, unwavering strength.

At the center of Paul’s world was his beloved wife, Janice, whom he adored without limits. His love for her was constant and visible in both grand gestures and the simplest everyday moments — a soft good-morning kiss, an apple fritter shared, a deep belly laugh echoing across the room. He protected her, treasured her, and made it his mission to ensure she never had to worry. Their bond was one of profound devotion and partnership.

Paul’s heart expanded even further with his family. He cherished his five children — Jennifer, Paul, Vicki, Amy, Kelly— and loved each of them fully and equally. They were his pride, his joy, and his greatest purpose. He would not have been the same man without them; they shaped him, inspired him, and filled his life with meaning.

Nothing delighted him more than being “Pippi” to his 12 grandchildren, who adored him completely. From golf cart rides and car repairs to silly jokes and contagious laughter, he gave them memories that will live forever in their hearts. More joy arrived with his five great-granddaughters, each one bringing out the softest, most tender parts of him. To all of them, he was not just a grandfather, but a hero, a storyteller, and a constant source of love.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Janice, his five devoted children, 12 grandchildren, five great-granddaughters, and three sons-in-law, his sister Cindy, and his loyal buddy Jackson, all of whom he embraced as part of his heart.

Paul is preceded in death by his loving parents, his Uncle Jerry, his brothers, Dave and Chris, and his devoted dog, Sunny, each of whom held a special place in his heart. We find comfort in knowing he is now reunited with them, greeted with the same love, warmth, and laughter they all shared in life. Paul spoke of them often and cherished their memory deeply; now, he is finally home with them again.

He lived a life rich in simple pleasures — good music, the History and Discovery channels, and the pride of tending a fruitful garden that fed his home and his spirit. Paul spent a great amount of time in his working barn. It was his refuge, a place he treasured deeply. It was a second home where he spent countless hours doing what he loved and sharing moments with the people who visited him there. These small joys reflected the kind of man he was: grounded, appreciative, and fully present in the beauty of everyday life.

Paul’s legacy is one of steadfast love, selfless giving, and unforgettable humor. His absence leaves a void impossible to fill, yet his impact remains etched in the hearts of all who knew him. His family finds comfort in knowing that his love continues, steady as ever, guiding them from beyond.

May his memory be a blessing, and may the love he gave so freely continue to grow through the generations he leaves behind.
