Paul Bosworth

Paul Bosworth, aged 75, passed away on August 6, 2024, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Born on February 9, 1949, in Burlington, Vermont, Paul was a highly respected figure in the textile industry, known for his passion and dedication.

Paul's career was marked by significant leadership roles, including being the President of Lee Jofa in Long Island, New York, for a decade, and the founder and President of Sterling & Knight in Keene, New Hampshire. He began his illustrious career at Schumacher in New York City as National Contract Sales Manager, progressing through various prominent positions across the country. His professional journey was not just a testament to his skills but also to his passion for the industry and the people he worked with.

A veteran of the Army during the Vietnam War, Paul carried the discipline and resilience from his military service throughout his life. He was an active member of the Jewish community, where he found both solace and peace.

Paul was an avid long-distance runner, a lover of history, politics, and nature. His hobbies also included savoring fine wine and port, and he cherished spending vacations with his family at the beach or in the mountains. His love for old homes complemented his wife Cathy's passion for renovations, bringing joy and surprises into their home with each of his returns from travels.

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Cathy, his daughter, Sara Bosworth Osetek, and his sons, Ross, Chase and Max Bosworth. Paul was predeceased by his adoptive parents, Daniel and Norma Bosworth, and his birth parents, Paul and Patricia St. John. He is also survived by his loyal Papillon, Draper, and numerous friends across the globe, including his best friend Anthony Evans, who he often reminisced about sharing a Long Island Blueberry Port with. Paul was an amazing father and had a very special bond with each of his four children.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date. The Neptune Society in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is assisting the family during this time. Paul's life was a vivid tapestry of love, friendship, and professional achievements, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he met.

Like he often said, "off on life's greatest adventure".
