Paul Scott Esposito

Born March 24, 1966

Died March 22, 2017

Resided in Southwest Ranches

Lived in South Florida since 1984

Paul was born in New London, CT, and moved with his family first to Long Island, New York and then to Orlando, Florida, where he graduated from Winter Park High school. Paul attended the University of Miami from 1984-1988 and received his BS in biology, while also perfecting his athletic skills on the intramural field, of course. He then received his MD degree from the University of Miami in 1992. He completed his residency in general surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital and went on to do a fellowship in laparoscopic surgery. In recent years he was in private practice in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, as a board-certified general and bariatric surgeon.

Paul is survived by his spouse, Karin Fendl Esposito; his son, Timothy James Esposito; his father, Peter V. Esposito; his brother, Richard K. Esposito; and his sister, Karen Esposito Johnson, as well as a loving extended family of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws.

Paul was preceded in death by his mother, Loretta Anne Esposito.

In his spare time, Paul enjoyed attending his adored son Tim's baseball games, watching all UM sports, Jets football, Yankees baseball, and hoping in all cases that the spread was in his favor. He was also a master at taking his friends' and colleagues' money easily in friendly poker games, as well as beating everyone at billiards.

Paul was taken from us way too early and will be dearly missed by his family, friends, work colleagues, and patients. He touched and impacted countless people in his short time here. We love you, Paul!
