Memorial Service:
Saturday

2 PM- 4 PM
Paul Steven Stoler passed away peacefully in his sleep after a prolonged illness on Wednesday, January 8th. He was born on September 5th,1945, and was seventy-nine years of age.
Paul was a wonderful, person, a fun and loving husband, father, father-in-law, brother and, devoted grampy. A natural storyteller, he was a force of nature and commanded the attention of any room he was in. Paul had a tremendous zest for living and we traveled to many exotic and exciting cities and countries over the years. Whether he was trying to swim with the dolphins in Greece, snapping photos of the elephants in Africa, sailing across the ocean to England, or taking in the view of the desert from the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, he made every minute of our adventures special.
He was born in Far Rockaway and grew up with his brother Richie, and cousins Gary, Linda, Bobby, and Andy, who lived nearby. He loved the beach there and we made many visits to see his ancestral home. Paul loved to fish and be anywhere near the water. We met in Amaganset over 50 years ago and have been together ever since.
He worked in the restaurant business for many years, as an owner, manager, and later as a bartender. From there, he switched to working for the Census, and then for the TSA where he became a Master Trainer, helping to ensure nothing untoward slipped onto a plane.
Paul loved spending time with his family: his brother Dan and sister-in-law Sue, his cousins Gary and Vicki, his daughter and son-in-law, Lauren and Mike, and, for the last 5 years, his granddaughter, Madison Grace, whom he loved to the moon and back. I think he was most sad that he would never see her again.
We will all miss him so much.
