Paul Stetson Obituary
On Thursday, May 28, 2020, Paul William Stetson, 79 passed to the beyond while surrounded by his loving family. He was the son of the late William Paul Stetson, MD. and Cathryn Johnson Stetson Stevenson; also, he leaves his sister Elizabeth (Greg) Chichester of Clinton, CT. With his wife and sweetheart Sandra St. George Stetson they have two sons; William St. George Stetson and Dwight Alexander Stetson who along with his wife Kimberly Lussier Stetson leave two granddaughters, Elizabeth and Amanda Stetson.
Paul was a 1959 graduate of North Haven High School. He has a Bachelor's in Arts and Sciences from the University of Connecticut, a Masters in Biology from Southern Connecticut State University, and from the University of New Haven an MBA and a Senior Professional Certificate in Financial Accounting. He also served 26 years active and reserve in the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force. Although he did a small amount of teaching at the college, high school and adult level, most of the working years were spent as the senior financial person at many small businesses.
During working years and into retirement, Paul was always involved with volunteer work in numerous organizations both as a participant and as a Board member; of particular note was his service to the Institute of Management Accountants where he served at local, regional and national levels and did become a National Vice President. Other volunteer activities are numerous and diverse; two unexpected, might be that he was a state certificated sexual assault crisis counselor and a Chevalier with the Amenti del Vino wine society. Along with great love of nature and the outdoors, he was an avid reader. Never ending was his joy of travel especially with Sandra.
The Stetson family would like to thank CT Hospice and the West Haven VA Hospital for his exceptional care and compassion. Burial will be at the Hamden Plains Cemetery on Saturday June 6th, 10:00 a.m. with full Military Honors. The Havens Family, North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue has been entrusted with the arrangements. To honor Paul a contribution to the Connecticut Botanical Society, P.O. Box 9004, New Haven, CT 06532 would be most appreciated. www.northhavenfuneral.com

Paul was a mentor at a time I needed it most, in my early 20's and because of him and Sandy, I am the person I am today. Saw them both last fall and it is a cherished memory...RIP my friend

Dear Sandra, William and Dwight,
Tremendous sadness fills my heart at an excellent man passing. I met Paul at Quinnipiac College night school many years ago. We spent many
hours studying together before and after class. He was very helpful to
me getting through the courses. He was a dear friend.
Sandra, William and Dwight you will be in my thoughts during this trying
time. My heart is saddened.

I have such great memories from childhood of visiting with Paul & Sandy with my parents. I can remember his voice and laid back manner very clearly. I even clearly remember the day he was working as a Santa Claus somewhere during the holidays and came by our apartment in full costume to surprise me. Even though I havent seen you guys in years, I would often think of you and was so saddened to hear of Pauls passing. Sending lots of love to Sandy, Billy and Dwight.
