Paul Shelling Obituary
Paul was a kind man, although stubborn at times, was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Throughout his life, he possessed a creative spirit and had many friends.
In his free time, Paul enjoyed the world of Science Fiction, particularly the beloved series Star Trek. He also enjoyed watching classic movies, and had a deep passion for collecting, building & painting models, although he often found himself acquiring more than he could complete. Nevertheless, his love for this hobby brought him immense joy.
Paul is survived by his son Alex (Elyse), his daughter Gina, and his brother Peter (Meg). He was preceded in death by his mother Johanna, his father Edward, and his siblings Michael, Edward, and Christina.
A simple celebration of Paul's life will be held on Friday September 8, 2023 from 4p-8p at Big Turtle II Condominium Club House located on SOM Center Road between Route 20 and Route 90.

Pete, Alex, Gina
I had no idea - I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope his final years were good ones filled with life, love and happiness.
Paul and I worked together for many years and had some great times together. He will be remembered.

I remember Paul as a child in the neighborhood. Our families were close. He was a good kid! Rest in Peace, Paul. Condolences to the family.

Paul and I are Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity Brothers from CSU. I have many fond and endearing memories of Paul from our days on Prospect Avenue back in the late 70´s & early 80´s.
Rest easy in the Bond Eternal Brother... Ziggy
