Paul A. Wentzel, a lover of stories both written and lived, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the age of 74. Originally from Palmyra, NJ, he later made his home in Moorestown. Born in Riverside, NJ, he was the beloved son of the late Royden and Gloria (DiGiuseppe) Wentzel.
Paul was a man of quiet curiosity and imagination, finding joy in the pages of sci-fi and fantasy books, where worlds of wonder unfolded before him. He carried that same sense of adventure into his passion for computer gaming, always seeking out new quests and challenges. His love of storytelling extended beyond what he read or played-he penned his own novel of a spacefaring world that he brought to life.
He is survived by his brother, Gene Wentzel, and sister-in-law, Cherryl; his sister, Stephanie Duncan; his nephew, Brandon Wentzel, Brandon's wife, Maryanne; his cherished great-nephews, Liam and Oliver; and numerous cousins, all of whom carry his memory forward.
Relatives and friends are invited to honor Paul at his visitation on Saturday, June 7th from 2 to 3 PM at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High St., Mt. Holly.
A Celebration of Life service will begin at 3 PM at the funeral home-a time to share memories, laughter, and the impact he had on those he loved.
