Paul GAVAGAN Obituary
Paul dedicated 34 years of his life to a successful career as a train conductor for the MBTA. Born and raised in Somerville, he called Medford home for the rest of his life. He had a passion for gardening, cheering on his favorite Boston sports teams and indulging in a delicious chicken parm. Paul lived life, "his way," and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
