Paul Barnas Obituary
Paul G. Barnas, Sr, 55 of Connecticut died peacefully on Friday morning, September 28, 2012. Born June 19, 1957. Paul enjoyed his profession (B and B Hospitality) in artistic restoration including master wall covering, color expertise and renovation. Paul was admired as a leader and mentor to his fellow craftsmen. He valued the respect and friendships that developed from his clients and peers throughout Connecticut and the United States.
Paul will be remembered for his strong spiritual belief, friendly personality, warm smile and contagious laugh. He was a Johnny-on-the-spot, quick to lend a hand to friends, family and neighbors.
He is survived by his, son, Paul Jr. (24) and daughter, Marcy. (16). They will never forget the overflowing surplus of love their father had for them. Their happiness was his main priority.
Beside his devoted children, he leaves his mother Harriet Barnas, his sisters, Barbara Simon and Alaine Harris, brothers Thomas (Donna), and John, and many nieces and nephews. Jamie Richard, best friend of 30 years and his family was in Paul's heart everyday and him in theirs. Paul is pre-deceased by his father James "Nick" and brother James, "Jimmy".
Services will be held on Thursday, October 4th at 2 p.m. at St Paul's on the Green 60 East Ave, Norwalk, CT. Reception to follow.

To Paul's family and friends: We send our deepest sympathy to you and yours. Paul lived next door to us in Florida. We only knew him for a short time but saw a very smart man, talented in his field. He will be missed and thought of often. We live in Canada so only saw Paul 6 months of the year. We will be heading south shortly. The street will not be the same. Our thoughts are with you
