Paul Russell Virtz

A proud graduate of Westminster High School, Class of 1961, Paul was the first member of the Virtz family to graduate from high school. Shortly after, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he honorably served four years of active duty followed by two years in the reserves.

In 1987, Paul met the love of his life, Sue Wright. After asking her to take a ride on the back of his motorcycle, a lifelong journey began. The two were married on April 14, 1990, and shared 35 beautiful years together.

Throughout his life, Paul was known for his entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic. He worked for Black & Decker and later Caterpillar before becoming a successful business owner. He operated three businesses in Pennsylvania: Paul's Auto Sales, Battlefield Auto Auction, and Grandview Motors. In 2001, Paul and Sue relocated to Palm Coast, Florida, where he founded and ran Paul Virtz Lawn Mowing for several years.

Paul was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Virtz. He is survived by his devoted wife, Sue Virtz; his children, Treasa (Danny) Baust, P.J. (Cathy) Virtz, Paul Virtz Jr., and Christina (Jason) Peifer; six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, Nancy Davis, Ronald Virtz, and Gary Virtz, along with many cherished relatives and friends.

A memorial gathering for Paul will be held Friday, July 11, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Craig Flagler Palms Funeral Home, 511 Old Kings Road South, Flagler Beach, Florida 32136.
