PAUL NIEDERBERGER Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 5, 2018.
NIEDERBERGER PAUL J.

Age 62, of Cecil Township, formerly of Baldwin Borough, unexpectedly on Wednesday, Oct. 31. He was the beloved brother of Ernest (the late Nadine) of St. Petersburg, FL, Regis (Kathleen) of South Fayette, Rita (Oliver) Shoemaker of Gibsonia, and Mary (Bill Kelleher) of Bethel Park; he is also survived by loving nieces and nephews, Lori Christ, Scott, Eric, Trent, and Nathan Niederberger, Jessica Shoemaker, Lauren (Craig) Bustos, and Molly and Shane Kelleher. Paul was a 1980 graduate of Duquesne University's School of Pharmacy. He started his career as a pharmacist at the former Stebbrook Pharmacy in Brookline. In 1993, he took a job with Kmart pharmacies, first as an itinerate pharmacist and later as a permanent pharmacist at the Chippewa Kmart in Beaver Falls, where he worked for a number of years until 2016. He had many friends among the Kmart staff and customers, sometimes meeting customers for coffee before his shift. Paul enjoyed traveling with his family, and spending time with his family, and especially attending the sporting events and other activities of his nieces and nephews. At one time he was an avid runner and completed two Pittsburgh Marathons in the 1980s. There will be no visitation or services as Paul chose to donate his remains to science. Donations in his memory may be made to the Toys for Tots or any charity that provides Holiday gifts and food to needy children.

My wife and I met Paul at the K Mart pharmacy in Chippewa and soon learned we both attended Saint Wendelin Grade School. Many enjoyable conversations with this great guy - the Kennedy assassination was a favorite topic.Belated sympathies to the family, I just learned today of his passing.

Im so sorry to hear about Paul. I worked with Paul at Kmart for over 12 years (I actually hired Paul around 2003 or so for the Chippewa store). He was a great pharmacist. Ill never forget the last time I saw Paul. He came to visit me in Presbyterian Hospital in Oct of 2016 when I was recovering from a serious medical event. Rest In Peace my friend.

I am so sad to read this! Paul was my friend that I met at South Park where we often saw each other when walking and/ or running. I really enjoyed talking with him especially hearing about his recent adventure in New York, to seeing pictures of him running in his marathon races. He was my very sweet friend, and the park will not be the same without him. I was just there this weekend and looking everywhere for him. I'm so sorry to his friends and family for their loss. Paul was a good and kind person, I will miss him.

I will remember the good times had with Paul. Board games, sporting events, wave pools, trips to NC (he used to swim in the Ocean, at night, crazy!), Paul was a great uncle to my brother and I, he was the best. I will miss him but be thankful for the time and memories we shared together.

Rest in Peace,
Your Nephew

Dear Mary and family,

I was so sorry to learn of your brother Paul's passing. I remember meeting him at sporting events at St. Louise when he would come to watch Shane play. He was a very sweet man. Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Uncle Paul,
You are an integral and treasured part of our family. (I'm not ready to speak of you in the past tense yet.) You were a fixture in our house when I was growing up, whether it was joining us for family dinners, birthdays, dispensing your vast pharmaceutical knowledge, or helping me with my chemistry homework. I have fond memories of our family vacations. You were game for whatever adventure Dad had planned, from renting a tin can rental car and driving around foreign countries to climbing ancient ruins. I deeply appreciate how much support and kindness you've extended to my mom and dad while we move through the unpleasant realities of chronic illness. I don't worry about them as much knowing that you're a part of their lives.

I'm sad that we didn't get a chance to say good bye, but I understand. Even in the end, you were looking out for us. I know you're busy catching up with Grandma. We're taking care of things down here. I hope you'll check in on us from time to time.

With Love,
Your Niece
