Gene V. Paul

HAMPSTEAD – Gene Vincent Paul, adoring husband of Jacquelyn (Hill) (Miller) Paul, dedicated father of Dr. Stephen T. Paul, Pittsburgh, PA, and Jennifer J. (Paul) Perreault, and doting grandfather of Gabrielle J. and Derrek G. Perreault, all of Danville, died peacefully Sun., November 29, in the comfort of his home with his loving wife by his side.

Gene, long-time resident of Plaistow, and formerly of Newton, was born in Haverhill, MA on March 6, 1941, to the late Clarence V. and Jane H. (Fyfe) Paul. Gene attended Haverhill Public Schools and graduated from Haverhill Trade School.

Gene was a proud Mason affiliated with Star of Bethlehem AF&AM;, Wakefield, MA, who at one time served as a police officer with the Haverhill Auxiliary Police and the Plaistow Police Department. Prior to developing heart and lung disease, Gene was employed for several years as Lieutenant of Security at Raytheon in West Andover, MA.

Gene, known for his kindness, generosity and storytelling, enjoyed researching his family genealogy, bowling with his league at Academy Lanes in Bradford, MA, fishing with and caring for his grandchildren, watching westerns, crime dramas, and programs about the spirit world. Preferring to listen to country and spiritual music, Gene was an avid collector of Native American décor and memorabilia. Prior to his declining health, Gene enjoyed traveling to Nova Scotia to visit his uncle and to Pittsburgh to visit his son and daughter-in-law. Gene’s greatest joy in the past two years was spending quality time with his wife, Jackie.

In addition to his parents, Gene was predeceased by his first wife of 39 years, Sarah (Sally) A. (Tenney) Paul, and brother, David Paul.

Survivors include three sisters, Claire (Paul) Hutchinson, Plaistow; Audrey (Paul) McGowen, Dover; and Mary Ellen (Paul) Petit and her husband, Paul, Merrimac, MA; two brothers, Redmond (Reggie) Paul and his wife, Sandra, Haverhill, MA, and Donald Paul and his wife, Linda, North Carolina. Additional survivors include daughter-in-law, Cynthia (Kecy) Paul, Pittsburgh, PA; son-in-law Gary Perreault, Danville; stepchildren: Michael Miller, Exeter, and Terrie (Miller) Clarke and her husband Leo, Groveland MA; step-grandchildren Dr. Lia (Clarke) Sprague and her husband, Matthew, Fremont, and Pamela Clarke and Amy Clarke, both of Groveland, MA; step-great-grandchildren Kagen Clarke, Groveland, MA, and Landon Sprague and Aislinn Sprague, both of Fremont. Gene also leaves several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear and devoted friends, including Tom and Ann Hansen, Newton, Ray and Rose Guilmet, Salem, and Sandra and Walter Brown, Haverhill, MA, as well as all of his caring friends in his bowling league.

Funeral services were held on December 4. Burial was private.

The family respectfully requests that flowers be omitted in consideration of making a donation in Gene’s memory to the American Heart Association (www.americanheart.org), the American Lung Association (www.lungusa.org), the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (www.leukemia.org), local fire emergency rescue departments in Plaistow, Newton, Hampstead, or Danville, or to the charity of one’s choice.
