Paul E. DeAngelis

1936 - 2016

Paul E. DeAngelis passed away comfortably, peacefully, Friday, April 1, 2016, at home with family by his side after a lengthy illness. He was born in Concord to Frederick and Veronica (Dion) DeAngelis on Jan. 9, 1936. Always proud to be a "White Parker," Paul was an exceptional ice skater and avid hockey player. 

He graduated from Concord High School in 1954 and joined the Air Force where he served in the Military Police for four years during the Korean War. Paul worked at the Merrimack Electrotype and then at the Concord Litho as a top pressman and later as a Tower Guard at the State Prison. 

Paul was one of the first members of the Concord Boys and Girls Club and later a founding member and first president of the Alumni Association. For 10 years he hosted successful fundraising dinners with the help and support of several local community members and merchants. 

He spent many years hunting, fishing, gardening, cheering on his Patriots, and watching History and Wildlife television programs as well as a good Western.

Paul leaves the love of his lifetime and wife of 56 years, Mary.  He also leaves his four children, son, John and his wife, Mary, daughter, Jane and her husband, Eric, daughter, Michele, and son, Chris.  In addition, he leaves nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.   Paul took great pleasure in being a father, grandfather and great- grandfather.

Paul also leaves his older brother, Bob and his wife, Barbara with whom he enjoyed many adventurous road trips to Florida and out west. He leaves his sister, Judie who lives in Florida and whose visits have always been a bright spot. He leaves several dear cousins, nieces, nephews and cherished friends. Paul is predeceased by his brother, Dave who guided and protected him as a young boy.

We'll miss his love for and strong loyalty to family and friends, his courage and confidence, his quick sense of humor and his mischievous antics.

At Paul's request there will be no calling hours or funeral service. Instead, he would encourage you to toast your own family and friends and to enjoy your time with them.

Paul's family will forever value and appreciate every member of his attentive and comforting hospice team as well as the wonderful staff at the Hospice House for their unwavering support, kindness and reassurance.
