Walter J. Zalewski Funeral Home - 44th Street - Pittsburgh Obituary

Age 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. His children meant the world to him and they were the joy of his life. 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 Business and Accounting Club and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.   He enjoyed many trips to Poland, where he made many lifelong friends and unforgettable memories. He was an avid long time 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.  Paul had a large heart and truly enjoyed all the interactions he had with the many people who touched his life. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Joseph "Skip" and Anthony Jr. "Antos". His siblings Marylin, John "Dude", Marya "Ria", Rosemary, and Michael (Sally) deeply feel his loss. He also will be remembered by many cousins, loyal friends and dear nieces and nephews. Paul was a man of Myriad talents and interests. At the university, he was a much sought after educator and was Edinboro University's Professor of the Year. He was a dedicated leader and supporter of student organizations and was involved in leadership events at the university. With monumental pride and devotion, Paul shared freely his knowledge and passion of his Polish heritage, from honoring traditions to offering others savory Polish delicacies and beverages Paul's generosity graced many. In addition, one could always depend on Paul's expertise and skill as a member of his golf league and his savvy sense with horse races were known and acclaimed. He will be missed tremendously.

Not sure what to say?

Paul, You sure will be missed at the horse races....Prayers for your family...

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...

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.

Rosie and family,
So sorry for your loss. May the Lord provide you peace in this time of mourning. Let your memories sustain you. Prayers for you and your family.

My thoughts are with the family and prayers. God bless everybody.

My deepest condolences God bless Prayers and many hugs
