MOSSBERG, PAUL, 59, died Saturday, August 9 at his home in Brookline, MA. Paul was the beloved brother of Rose Malkin and her husband David and beloved Uncle of Sam and Jack Malkin. Born in Providence, Paul was the son of the late Beatrice (Aron) and Irving Mossberg. Paul had lived in Cranston for most of his life, moving to Brookline and joining the Specialized Housing Community in 2007. Before retiring due to his illness, Paul was an employee of Sodexo at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Paul was an active member of Yachad, an avid bowler and a music lover.

In addition to his family in Rhode Island, Paul leaves behind his second family, his friends, housemates and the staff of his home in Brookline. Rose and David extend their most heartfelt love and gratitude to Katie Fortier and to all of the Specialized Housing staff in Brookline for their exceptional kindness, care and compassion. Over these past eighteen months, Paul's cancer journey was made infinitely easier because of the understanding and gentle guidance of Melissa Levin at the Neuro-Inclusive Oncology Care and Empowerment Program at Dana-Farber.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 14 at 11:00 am at the Priest Chapel, Lincoln Park Cemetery, 1469 Post Road, Warwick, RI. Cranston. Shiva will be private.
