Paul "Turbo" Vignola III, 53, of Clinton, slipped away in his sleep Thursday, November 16th, 2023.
Paul was disabled and bedbound for 14 years. Nothing could dampen his personality. He had countless friends all around the world, some known locally and some through the internet in games that he loved to play. If he could make someone laugh, he was happy. Along with gaming, he loved making things, as he had an engineering mind, listening to music, and loving on his "kids" (cats). Before he got sick he loved fishing, sporty cars, lifted trucks, and hanging out with friends while cruising the streets.
Paul loved his family deeply. His wife of 24 years, Erin, survives, along with his daughter Kristi Whiting (Dalton), his father, Paul Vignola Jr, his sister Paula Kamm (Steve), and her sons Luke Hoag (Jessi), Ryan Hoag, and Justin Hoag. Paul had two grandchildren, Miles Whiting and Leela Whiting. He had quite an extensive extended family that reaches out to several states. Paul was preceded in death by his mother (June) and a nephew (Matthew).
Paul will be cremated, with no viewing, per his wishes. He had a love/hate relationship with flowers, so in lieu of flowers, donations to help his family with final expenses would be greatly appreciated.
