Paul Lisowski Obituary

Paul J. Lisowski, 68, of Edinboro, formerly of Lawrenceville, left this earthly life on Saturday, April 6, 2019, at St. Vincent Hospital. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., on November 21, 1950, the son of the late Anthony and Harriet Lisowski, Sr.

He was the loving and caring father of his most treasured daughters Rachel, Stephanie "Willow," Renata and Sarah, and the adoring Dziadzia "Grandpa" of Jordan and Dylan, and devoted companion of Puddin' Pop.

Before retiring, Paul was a professor at Edinboro University of PA, where he taught Business and Accounting for 38 years. He was also an adviser of the Business and Accounting Club and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

He enjoyed many trips to Poland, where he made many lifelong friends and unforgettable memories. With monumental pride and devotion, Paul shared freely his knowledge and passion of his Polish heritage. He was an avid, longtime golfer and treasurer for the Riverside Thursday Golf League in Cambridge Springs.

He was a vocal supporter of Presque Isle Downs Casino, making friends with patrons, employees, and jockeys alike.

He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Joseph "Skip" and Anthony Jr. "Antos."

His siblings Marilyn, John "Dude," Marya "Ria," Rosemary, and Michael (Sally) deeply feel his loss.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

My deepest condolences. Paul always made it a point to greet us every time he saw us at PID. He had such a zest for life. It was a pleasure spending Summer evenings with him. He will be greatly missed by his *family* at Presque Isle Downs.

To the Girls,

Your dad was an amazing man. When you girls were little, and your Mom and Dad needed a night out, they would call one of the Nestor girls who lived four houses up the road to babysit. Paul was always courteous and walked us back to our our house upon their return, which always made us feel safe.

It was fun watching you girls grow up, and the many hours we spent in your backyard pool singing "I'm walking on Sunshine oh oh" - you probably don't recall, you girls were just little at that time. Paul also tutored me with my Math homework as a teenager and he was always patient with me, even when I had no idea what he was talking about. Math wasn't my strong point. Anyway, your dad will be missed, he was such a good dad to all of you. Prayers to your family.

Rest In Peace Paul.

The Nestor Girls.

Lisowski family,

My deepest sympathies. Paul was a classmate at Central Catholic and at Pitt. A terrific guy who tried to act not as smart as he was. But we all knew he was a "brainiac," especially in math. I played a lot of basketball against him in HS and at Pitt. Tough competitor. I last saw "Java" seven months ago at our CC 50th reunion. WE got to share a few good memories, and I'm glad we re-connected for the night. He will be in my prayers.
