Paul F. Baeri

Paul F. Baeri, of Tinton Falls, NJ, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025 surrounded by his loved ones. He was 76 years old.
Paul was born in Brooklyn, NY, the beloved son of Louis and Lilian (née Napoli) Baeri. He spent his early life in Brooklyn before moving to Morganville, NJ. He graduated from Christian Brothers Academy in 1966 and went on to receive his Bachelor's degree from Northeastern University in 1970.
Paul enjoyed every minute of his 40-year career as a self-professed "Wall Street geek." He worked in fixed income trading and sales at Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Bank of New York, Gleacher & Cantor Fitzgerald. He had more dear friends in the business than most people have in a lifetime, and he was especially proud of those that he mentored early in their careers.
His love of "the business" was only eclipsed by his love of his family. He married the love of his life, Margaret, in 1978, and together they settled in New York City to start a family. Shortly after the birth of their 3rd son, they relocated to the Jersey Shore and raised their 3 boys in Monmouth Beach, Little Silver & Red Bank. He was a caring husband, a phenomenal father, an amazing grandfather and a wonderful friend.
Paul was an avid skier, golfer and all around adventure-seeker. After a day on the slopes or the course, you could often find Paul in the hot tub enjoying a good cigar and an extra-dry Beefeater Martini, straight up with olives. He loved to travel the world with his family, taking them to 6 of the 7 continents and introducing them to all the mystery and beauty that he saw in the world.
Paul will be remembered by all that had the pleasure of knowing him as a kind and generous man with a limitless sense of humor. He was always willing to help a friend in need, especially if it required his legendary DIY skills based on the "measure once, cut twice" philosophy.
Paul is survived by his wife of 47 years, Margaret, his son Eric and daughter-in-law Kristen, his son Jason and his son Vincent. 'GP' will forever be remembered by his three loving grandchildren, Eric John, Christopher Paul & Morgan Claire. He was predeceased by his parents Louis and Lilian, and his beloved younger sister Marilyn Bash.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 25th from 4-7pm at Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad St, Red Bank, NJ 07701. A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, June 26th at 11 am at Tower Hill Presbyterian Church, 255 Harding Rd, Red Bank, NJ 07701. Interment will be private.
