Paul was born in Morristown on June 25, 1962 to Edward and Mary Tomasula. He was raised in Sussex County and graduated from Newton High School in 1980. Paul’s professional journey began in 1978 at ShopRite of Newton where he went on to dedicate over 45 years, most recently as the Produce Manager.
In his younger years, Paul enjoyed fishing, biking and bowling. In later years he cherished moments spent camping with his family, afternoons at the pool, traveling, and any occasion to grill up a meal for friends and family. Affectionately known as the “Grill Guy”, Paul’s knack for BBQ brought joy to countless gatherings. Paul’s clever pranks never failed to bring smiles to those around him, and his jovial sense of humor will be greatly missed by many.
Paul is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa Tomasula; his sons Edward Tomasula (Cate) and Paul Tomasula (Jewel); his daughters Jennifer and Jessica Tomasula; his grandsons William and Alex Tomasula; his parents Edward and Mary Tomasula; his brothers Michael Tomasula (Kristine), Mark Tomasula, and Stephen Tomasula (Sherry), his sister Linda Dunn (Christopher), his father-in-law and mother-in-law Robert and Mary Wickham; his sister-in-law Lori Reich; his brother-in-law Robert Wickham Jr.; and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Paul is predeceased by his brother John Tomasula, and his grandparents.
