Obituary
Paul J Wilson of Estero, FL passed away peacefully at home Feb 14, 2024. Paul was born Feb 2, 1945 in Washington, D.C.
He had a successful career as co-owner of Superior Mechanical Services in Maryland. In 2004 he met his wife, Sue. They retired to Estero in 2013. He loved ribbing his friends, golf, regular wing outings and ice cream.
He is survived by his wife, Sue, daughters Kelley (John) Griffin, Lindsay (Steve) Abell, Stepdaughters April (David Rathbun) Abernethy, Heather Abernethy, Sister, Ann Wilson and Brothers Ed and Robert Wilson, as well as his beloved grandchildren Alexandra (Kevin) Killian, Durant Abernethy IV, Carolyn Abernethy, Dane and Wyatt Pulvermacher, and Jack Abell.
While he will be greatly missed, we will remember Paul for his unconditional love, pranks and storytelling. We know he will be telling jokes and teasing friends and family that awaited him on the other side.
I guess at the end of our days, we all would like to feel that we have been as invaluable , as loyal and as respected and lovingly remembered as we would have liked to be ....Rest in peace sweet friend , you are that much and so much more !!!!
PS:...If you hadn't done such an incredible job of permanently attaching yourself and so many beautiful memories to me and mine, I might have had. a very hard time forgiving you sweetheart for " triggering your sales " way before Joe & I were ready to let you go.
Lois Whelan, Your other Whelan partner and so much more . All my love !!!
For all Paul's zaniness, nonsense, joking around, storytelling, horseplay and sometimes just plain craziness, I can never remember it being mean spirited. It was all in good fun and I believe everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.
Lois and I will miss him greatly everyday going forward and I suspect that anyone who ever came in contact with him along the way will most likely feel the same way . How could they not ?
As I have said numerous times throughout the years, I have had two wonderful marriages in my lifetime, one to the love of my life , Lois , and one to my also wonderful partner , Paul J. Wilson .
Love ya' Paul. See you again one day
Paul, thank you for all the craziness and laughs through all the years and also for all that you did for me and my family
Our condolences to Paul's family.
Rest in peace dear friend.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Our condolences to you Sue and your family.
We had such great times with them over the years and lots of fun golf memories when Paul was playing. We will miss him.
JoAnne & Vince V.
