Frederic Joseph Paulis

Fred was born in Newark, New Jersey on April 23, 1936, the proud son to Elizabeth (Koerkel) and Alexander Paulis. He proudly served our nation in the United States Navy and following his Honorable Discharge in 1961, Fred began working at the telephone company. His career migrated through a changing industry which took Fred to AT&T where he spent the majority of his working life and rising through the ranks until retirement as Supervisor of Equipment Manufacturing.

Sadly, Fred was preceded in death by his wife, Oneida Paulis; mother, Elizabeth Betty (Koerkel) Paulis and father, Alexander Paulis; sister, Elaine Evangelista and brother, Robert Paulis.

Mr. Paulis is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Lairna Paulis of Cape Coral, Florida and his brother, Stephen Paulis of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, his sister-in-law, Agnes and numerous nieces and nephews.
