Paul Petrsoric, a beloved brother, husband, father, father-in-law, uncle, and grandfather, passed away

peacefully on April 16, 2026, at the age of 82. Born in Croatia on September 10, 1943 and migrating

to the United States in 1967, Paul lived a life devoted to hard work, faith, and his family, always placing

their happiness and well-being at the heart of everything he did.

Paul was the loving husband of Dinka, his constant companion and best friend, who preceded him in

death. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Paul’s

unwavering support and kindness were the foundation of their marriage. Their enduring love remained

the foundation of his life, and he is now peacefully reunited with her.

He was a devoted dad and father-in-law to his children: Paul and his wife Irene, Dorothy and her

husband Mark, and Michelle and her husband Jason. Paul’s guidance, wisdom, and gentle spirit shaped

their lives and provided a model of strength and integrity for his family to follow. Paul delighted in

being a grandfather to Luke, Danny, Tommy, Michael, Jason, and Julianna. His grandchildren brought

him immense joy, and he treasured every moment spent with them. Whether sharing stories, offering

advice, or simply enjoying their company, Paul’s love for his grandchildren was boundless.

A skilled carpenter whose hands shaped not only wood but the lives of everyone around him, Paul

took great pride in his craft and found joy in helping family and friends with their home projects. With

a keen eye for detail, he transformed houses into homes, creating spaces filled with warmth, comfort,

and character. He was often the first person called when something needed fixing, or a new project

was imagined. No matter the challenge, Paul approached each request with patience, expertise, and a

ready smile. Whether building, repairing, or improving something around the house, he found

fulfillment in working with his hands and in being there for the people he loved.

Paul was also an avid soccer fan, proudly following and supporting his favorite Croatian soccer teams

throughout his life. His love of the game extended beyond watching - he was actively involved in

coaching and enthusiastically cheering on his children and grandchildren as they played. From

sidelines to living rooms, soccer was a source of joy, connection, and cherished memories for Paul and

his family.

Paul will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those he loved. His

legacy lives on in the hearts of his family and friends, who will forever cherish the memories they shared

with him.

A life well-lived, Paul’s memory will continue to inspire those who knew him. He will be deeply missed

but never forgotten.
