Paul grew up in Binghamton, NY, surrounded by a close and loving extended family.  As an adult he worked for 29 years at the Binghamton Post Office.  Paul was a dedicated worker and a friend to everyone.  He inherited his mother’s love of sports, especially the New York Yankees, and her excellent Italian cooking.  After retiring from the Post Office, Paul and his family moved to Hamburg, NY, where he began his own catering company. As Paul’s health began to fail, he moved to a nursing home in Sligo, PA, near his children, where he lived for several years before moving to another facility in Coraopolis, PA.  In late February 2024, Paul was placed on hospice care, and he died peacefully two weeks later.

At his request, Paul was interred at Calvary Cemetery, 501 Fairview St., Johnson City, NY, in a mausoleum close to his late parents.  A Funeral Mass will be held at Saints Cyril & Methodius Church, 148 Clinton Street, Binghamton, NY at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 6, 2024.
