Publish in a newspaper
Paul graduated from Kent State University, was a U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, and spent most of his career as head of purchasing at Picker X-Ray, then retired from Tetrad Electronics.
Paul had his private pilot license and had a love for flying. He enjoyed traveling, casinos, camping and was an excellent wood worker. He also loved racing cars, including his '51 Ford. He was an avid Cleveland sports fan, especially the Browns.
He most loved being around his family, especially his grandchildren, and was the proudest "Papa." Paul was the loving husband of 61 years to Ruth "Babe" Carani (nee Colangelo); dearest father of Wendy (Scott) Marn, Amy (Roland) Smith and Paul "Paulie" A. Carani Jr.; beloved grandfather of Dylan and Jagger Marn, Anna (James Weinpert – fiancé) and Andrew Smith; brother of the late Richard Carani; brother-in-law of Russell Colangelo, Dianne (Rick-deceased) Yerick and Scott (Martha) Colangelo; uncle to many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive family and friends from 4:00 – 7:00 PM Tuesday, March 25th, 2025, at Jeff Monreal Funeral Home, 1000 Mentor Ave., Painesville. A Memorial Service will be held at 7:00 PM Tuesday at the funeral home.
The family would like you to dress casually for calling hours and the memorial service. Please wear your favorite Cleveland Sports team in Paul's memory.
