Lawrence Paul Obituary

Lawrence Irving Paul Jr.

August 4, 2015

Larry Paul Jr. age 80 of Sanibel Island, Florida passed away peacefully on Aug. 4, 2015. Larry is predeceased by his wife Debbie of 44 years and his sister Betsy Bernstorf. He is survived by his loving wife Maureen McClatchy and her children and by his two children Larry and Susan Paul and his beautiful grandchildren Grace Ann and Audry Elizabeth . Larry was born in Philadelphia and worked his entire life in construction. He loved his family and had a tremendous zest for living life to the fullest. One of his greatest joys was starting and running things … whether it be the Sanibel Island Fishing Club, the Fiddlesticks Tennis program, the Ocean City Yacht Club sailing committees, or the "Pathetic Pelicans" tennis team on Sanibel. All those who knew him knew he was a huge Gator fan. He loved boating, fishing, golf, and tennis. He will be missed by many. A celebration of life service will be held at St. Isabel's Church 3559 San Cap Road on Sanibel Island, Florida on Saturday August 15th at 11:00. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer's Association.
