Paul Misoda

MARBLEHEAD - Paul Misoda was born 1937 in Nesquahoning, Pennsylvania to Mary and John Misoda. After high school, he left home to join the US Air Force. He was proud of his time in the Air Force which was the catalyst for his interest in Engineering and afforded him the ability to pursue his dream of going to college at Penn State; and then eventually earning a masters in aerospace engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic.

In his early years he worked at Pratt & Whitney aircraft in Hartford Connecticut. It was in Hartford where he met beautiful Ann, and where he made the smartest decision of his life to marry her. They were wed in 1966. They then moved to Seattle, WA where he worked for Boeing Aviation. From there, Paul and Ann moved to Massachusetts where he worked for the GE Aviation division. They settled down in the town of Marblehead, a seaside town that he had fallen in love with. It was there where and he and Ann raised their 2 children Mark and Marin, their pride and joy.

While at GE, working on many global aeronautical projects, he was afforded the opportunity to travel huge swaths of the earth and experience many countries. It was one of the great joys of his life to be able to fully immerse himself in the cultures of all his travel adventures; especially the local foods and people.

Upon retirement, he and Ann were happy snowbirds in Naples, Florida where he was an avid golfer and fisherman. But most of all, he enjoyed spending sunny days with close friends and family including his beloved grandson Evan.

A man of diverse knowledge and talent he was a skilled woodworker, gardner, painter-artist, boater and tinkerer.

He was deeply loved, and will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his wife Ann, his son Mark and his wife Cheryl, his daughter Marin and her partner Matt, his grandson Evan, his brother Michael and his wife Linda, his sister Mary Ann and her husband Jerry. And many loved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother John and his wife Elaine.
