1946 - 2026
Paul worked for the former Natick Laboratories for more than 20 years before retiring in 1997. Even in retirement, he stayed active with several part-time jobs, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family. Whether taking his daughters to Fiskes, the lake, or wherever they convinced him to go, Paul was happiest creating memories with those he loved. Later, he found that same joy sharing adventures with his grandchildren.
An avid runner, Paul proudly completed the Boston Marathon in 1985. Above all else, he was devoted to his family. He treasured the life he built with Joy, adored his four daughters, and took immense pride in the women they became. His grandchildren brought him endless happiness, and every moment spent with them was one he cherished.
In addition to his wife, Joy, Paul is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Grady and her husband, Michael Lydon, of Milford; Elizabeth Grady-Harper and her husband, Scott, of Milford; Mary Lentini of Grafton; and Margaret Hendron and her husband, Chris, of Milford. He also leaves behind his brother, Bill Grady and his wife, Linda, of Maine; and his eight beloved grandchildren, Abby and Will Lydon, Ealasaid and Isa Grady-Harper, Stella and Fiona Lentini, and Jack and Lou Hendron.
Private family services are being held.
Funeral arrangements are under the care of the Chesmore Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Project Just Because through Project Just Because, where Joy volunteered for many years.
