Paul McDonald Obituary

Paul L. McDonald, 82, of Stafford Springs, husband of the late Elaine (Kozlowski) McDonald, passed away on Friday, Jan. 7, 2022.

He was born in Southbridge, Massachusetts, son of the late Louis McDonald and Helen (Labelle) McKissick. Paul served our country in the U.S. Marine Corps, and retired from Otis Elevator as an installer. He was a member of the IUEC Local 91, Strazza, Tonoli-Emhoff American Legion Post No. 26, and the Maple Grove Club in Vernon.

Paul is survived by his daughter, Roxann Dubicki and her husband, Steven; two granddaughters, Reegan and Makayla; three sisters, Judy Hetu and her husband, Fritz, Jean Spinner, and Jackie Anger; and several nieces, nephews, and

cousins.

Paul will be most remembered for being generous, outgoing and always ready with a few great stories to bring to the party.

He was so very proud of his 30-plus years working at Otis Elevator.

From moving up the ranks to job foreman, to all the great places and buildings he got to work in. You for sure had to be prepared for an elevator lesson whenever jumping in one with Paul.

His funeral service with military honors will be held on Saturday, Jan. 15, at 1:30 p.m., at Introvigne Funeral Home, Inc., 51 East Main St., Stafford Springs. Burial will be held privately.

Calling hours are on Friday, Jan. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the funeral home.

Memorial donations may be made to Visiting Nurse and Health Services of Connecticut, 8 Keynote Dr., Vernon, CT 06066.

I am so very sorry to hear. I just loved your Mom and Dad. I worked with Paul for many, many years at Otis. He was incredibly kind, generous and so very proud of his family. I remember his granddaughters as little - he always had photos and a story about them. My sincere sympathies.
