H. FORTIN Obituary

FORTIN, H. Paul Age 93, formerly of Reading, Massachusetts and Williamsburg, Virginia, passed away peacefully, reunited with his beloved wife, Elizabeth (Elloian) Fortin. Born in Everett, Massachusetts, he was the son of the late Harold and Gertrude Fortin; and the brother of Blanche Alford, Susan Kiefer, and the late Joan Hammons. Paul proudly served two tours with the United States Marine Corps between 1947 and 1954. He went on to earn an engineering degree from Tufts University in 1958 and a J.D. from Suffolk University in 1968. His career in laminated paper products brought him to Texas, Delaware and Massachusetts, where he was admired for his leadership and dedication. Paul was the loving father of Bradford (Carolyn) Fortin and Bryan (Lori) Fortin; cherished grandfather of Connor (Carissa Reynolds), Brendan (Bri), Ryan (Isabella), Paul (Mary) and Danielle (Chris Argiros); and proud great-grandfather of Fredrika, Bodie, Theodore, and Sofia. Paul will be remembered for his devotion to Elizabeth, his love of family, and the many friendships he and Elizabeth made while golfing, traveling, and enjoying life together. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
