Paul C. Puleo, Sr.

Paul C. Puleo, Sr., 91, of Edison, NJ, and Thornhurst, PA, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2020.

Born on May 6, 1928, in Newark, NJ, he was the son of the late Paul and Caroline (Wagner) Puleo.

Paul earned a Master’s Degree from Rutgers University in 1955, taught night school for a few years as well as holding various manufacturing and general manager positions for Westinghouse and other corporations. He loved his family and celebrating special occasions with them. He enjoyed the outdoors and nature, being especially fond of birds and plants.  His vacation travels took him all over the world – one highlight was spending his 80th birthday in the Amazon Rainforest.   One of his great passions was to tinker – with anything -- but particularly with old mechanical mantel clocks.  He also had a love of all types of music and was able to play the harmonica,  keyboard, guitar, and ukulele

Paul is survived by his wife of 69 years, Carmela (Correale) Puleo, his children; Paul Puleo, Jr., and his wife Anita, Lynn Hyman and her husband Alan, Lisa MacCollum and her husband Martin and Philip Puleo, his grandchildren; Nicholas and Julie Puleo, Adam and Zachary Hyman and Melissa MacCollum and his great-grandchildren; Jadden, Isabella, Romeo and Simone

Calling Hours are scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2020, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Finegan Funeral Home, 4080 William Penn Highway, Easton, PA, with a Funeral Service to directly follow.
