Paul Mazzone Sr.

MAZZONE, PAUL SR. 931/2- of Atlantic City, NJ was called home peacefully by the lord on July 8, 2008, to be with his loving wife Betty, who predeceased him in 1999. Paul was an Atlantic City resident his entire life. He served honorably in WW II as a staff sergeant in the Army Infantry. He was a lifelong supporter of veteran organizations, the military and our government. From the time he was a little boy selling newspapers he never stopped working. He had several careers over his lifetime, always finding something else to do. He was an amazing man, only 5'2", but to those who new him he was a giant. Up until the time of his passing he was still gainfully employed as a sergeant in security at the Atlantic City Convention Center, working 5 days - 40 hours per week. He did this not because he had to, but because he loved his job. We would not be surprised if he is now guarding the gate for Saint Peter. Paul was a wealth of knowledge when it came to the history of Atlantic City and he had a photographic memory relating to sports of any kind. He was "old school" and always placed his family first. He loved to play the lottery, take care of his prize winning hydrangeas and walk his dog. He was a kind, generous, loving man who at 93 would hold a door open, and let you enter first. He was polite, he was considerate, and he was a gentleman. Paul had a wonderful life, and he did it his way right to the very end, with his family by his side. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten by his son, Paul Jr., his grandchildren, extended family, co-workers at the convention center and the many other people whose life he touched over the years. To those of us that must continue here on earth without him and the benefit of his love, friendship and cheerful smile there is only one way to describe him and his remarkable life. HE IS A LEGEND! We love you pop, and we will always have you in our hearts until we meet again. At his request, funeral arrangements are being made by Jeffries & Keates Funeral Home and will be private. Contributions may be made in Paul's memory to any charity of your choice.
