Paul Turetzky Obituary
Paul graduated from Mitchell College in New London. He dedicated many years of his life working as a marine salesman for New London Marine and Kellogg Marine, where he made lasting connections with colleagues and customers alike.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Paul found immense joy in his passions. He was an avid fisherman and a dedicated sports enthusiast, fanatical about the Mets, Giants and UConn basketball. Paul loved dogs and he was loved by seven shaggy ones over the years. He was a longstanding member of the New London Elks Club and was voted "Elk of the year" in 1994.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Elisse Rosen. He is also survived by his beloved sister, Diane Haskell, and her husband Dennis.
A graveside service to honor Paul's life will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, at Beth El Cemetery in Groton. Paul will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

I pray that I may live to fish
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.

Paul, you are definitely a keeper.

To the Turetzky Family,
For years, Paul and his Dad had a boat down at Crocker´s Boat Yard. Every Saturday, they fished and Paul was so attentive to his Dad. There was a bunch of us on Pier 4 that also fished every Saturday, rain or shine. We would fish the same areas and always talked and joked with them.Paul was very respectful and respected by all at the boat yard. A real gentleman. Fair winds and calm seas, Paul. Rest in peace.
