Paul Blickley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Shikany's Bonita Funeral Home on May 2, 2025.
Paul L. Blickley, Sr., 95, of Fort Myers Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.
Originally from New Jersey, Paul retired from Mack Trucks in Bridgewater, where he proudly worked for many years. After relocating to Florida, he became a well-known and cherished member of the Fort Myers Beach community. Paul was a long-time member of Fort Myers Beach Moose Lodge 964 and dedicated over 20 years of service to the Ft. Myers Beach Little League and local softball programs. He was also an avid beach volleyball player-still active into his 80s-and could often be found fishing along the shoreline or out on the water.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Deborah; his sons, Paul Jr., Robert, William, Richard, and Pierce Capell; he was affectionately known as "PAPPAP" by his ten grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
Paul will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and deep devotion to his family and community. He leaves behind a legacy of service, sportsmanship, and joy that touched the lives of all who knew him.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 11:00 AM at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, 28300 Beaumont Road, Bonita Springs, FL 34134.
