His dedicated 42 year career started in technical sales, then marketing and retired from an Upper Management position in 2005. Paul loved life; he enjoyed hunting, fishing, his boat “Glory Days”, skiing, travelling, especially to his favorite place Kauai, HI, gardening and most of all spending time with the love his life, Nancy.

Surviving are his devoted wife of 37 years Nancy (Bullen) Sheldon; two sisters Joan Bender and her husband Rev. Robert G. Bender of Ocean Grove and Margaret Egedy of Pompton Plains; his brother-in-law Eugene Egedy of Midland Park; sister-in-law Helen Bullen of Toms River; his nieces, whom he held dear to his heart, Stephanie and Vannessa Bullen of Toms River; and many more caring nieces, nephews and cousins. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kenneth Nahum and his incredible staff for their compassionate care given to Paul over the past two years; they were like family to him.
