Paul J. Gulinello, 66, of Attleboro, Massachusetts, passed away on December 11, 2025.

Born on January 28, 1959, in Boston, Massachusetts, Paul was a proud and loving father and a passionate sports enthusiast.

After graduating from South Boston High School, Paul held various roles in retail and as a truck driver, fueled by his dedication to hard work and his ability to connect with people. Paul held a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), an achievement that reflected his diverse skills. Raised a Catholic, he served as an altar boy and communicant of Gate of Heaven & Saint Brigid Parishes.

Paul's love for sports, particularly the New England Patriots, was infectious and he cherished the camaraderie of his fantasy football league which developed a special bond with his nephew, Derek since they both shared the same deep love for the game and the Patriots. Paul was known for his keen observations as an amateur meteorologist. He also had a deep love for German Shepherds, a testament to his compassionate heart and spirit. Paul was a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, growing up in South Boston and residing in Attleboro since 1998.

Paul leaves behind his beloved wife of 39 years, Christine M. Gulinello of Attleboro; his cherished daughter, Blair D. Gulinello and her partner, Maison B. Smith both of Attleboro; sister-in-law, Theresa A. McSorley of North Carolina; his nieces and nephews, Sherree A. Rogers of Massachusetts, Thomas J. McSorley of North Carolina, Derek H. McSorley of North Carolina, & Taylor A. Lia of North Carolina. In addition he leaves behind many other nieces, nephews, cousins, & friends. Paul will be remembered as a devoted family man that always had a smile on his face.
