Paul Giardina Obituary

Paul Thomas Giardina, Sr. of Crystal Lake, IL passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on January 26, 2022. He was a member of Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 53 years, Evelyn M. Giardina.

Paul is survived by sons Paul (Deb), Timothy (Lisa), Mark, Brian (Joette), Gregory (Mary) and Thomas (Holly). He was a cherished grandfather to two grandsons and six granddaughters.

Paul worked as a psychologist at Elgin Mental Health Center for thirty years. During retirement, he continued his work, counseling clients in community agencies. After Evelyn's retirement from Elgin Mental Health Center, they enjoyed 13 years of sunshine and fun in Florida, until moving back to Crystal Lake to be near family.

A private family service is planned. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to www.journeycare.org in Barrington.

So sorry to hear about Paul"s passing. I talked with him around Christmas. He and Evelyn were our neighbors in Lake Seminole Resort. We had some great times with them and many laughs. Will miss his phone calls and conversations about our lives in Florida.
Sincerely, Donna Tinsley
