Paul Ferris Obituary
Paul owned and operated Commercial Flooring in Middleton, Massachusetts, for 40 years, where he applied his sharp business acumen and commitment to quality service. Outside of work, he pursued passions that filled his life with excitement and joy. He was an avid snowmobiler, fisherman, hunter, and traveler. Paul also cherished moments spent hosting friends and family, and he had a special love for riding his Harley Davidson.
He is survived by his wife, Maureen, and his children, Debra, Scott, and Trace Ferris, Richard Dunn, and Jennifer Reidpath. He also leaves behind two sisters, Margaret Sullivan and Mary Lagasse. Paul was preceded in death by his daughter Denise Ferris and brother Michael Ferris.
He will be remembered missed by his grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at the North Shore Music Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts, on November 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Those who knew Paul will remember him as a man who lived his life with enthusiasm and an open heart. His legacy of love and adventure will be cherished by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Paul invited us to St Marten. He knew my husband Paul simard. On that vacation, we met the fabulous Maureen. Paul picked us up at the airport and got our accommodations and a rental. We went everywhere. Such an amazing host and fabulous and generous man
Unfortunately, we didn't see them often. Always enjoyed our time together. Paul Bubba Simard and Paula Contilli

Paul, you will be sorely missed. For reasons unknown I was not able to reach out to you, not for a lack of trying over the last 15 years. The adventures we had and the friendship my family and I shared with you were second to none. You were the one friend I knew would always be there at the drop of a dime. The memories will always be with us and I'm sure you will be blessed on your heavenly journey. Rest in peace old friend, we will never forget you and the good times and friendship we had.

Dear Maureen, Deb and family. I am so sorry for Paul´s passing. He was an OG at everything. Me, Deb and the kids and even before we had kids had great adventures with Paul; and then with Paul and Maureen. From Middleton, to the Vineyard to Vermont and at the beach in Maine (that I can´t remember the name of but it was fab) we always had fun and laughter. I am so happy that Paul had Maureen and Deb when times got tough, you were the ultimate "Team Paul." It´s so weird that when we are younger we think our parents are invincible but then wisdom, age and reality set in and we find out the hard way that we are just here for a set amount of time. No other words, just prayers that the family finds peace, love and healing through and with each other. Love and prayers to a life well lived. Dina

Maureen is my wife Elaine's niece. We met Paul and Maureen when we were vacationing in St Maarten (where they owned a condo), we had many meals with them (Paul was a foodie, and loved Calamaries (my spelling)) He was always a gentleman, a fun person, and a good guy to know. Rest Easy Paul!
