Obituary for Paul Eugene Whittier Jr.
Paul Eugene Whittier, Jr., 68, of East Brookfield, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday evening February 1, 2022.
Born on October 15, 1953, in Cambridge, MA; son of the late Paul E. Whittier, Sr., and Mildred W. Whittier (Button).
Paul grew up in Belmont, MA, was a graduate of Belmont High School, and attended Northeastern University. He later moved to Northborough, MA, where he and his wife, Jean, raised their children, Jason and Carolyn. He worked as a Software Engineer at Raytheon for over 35 years prior to switching careers and opening his own business as a Massage Therapist for another 12 years.
He always had a passion for helping others and his community. Paul was deeply involved in youth sports programs, serving as the President of Northborough Baseball, Commissioner of the Babe Ruth League and starting a Soccer Club, FC Puma. He was committed to do all he could to support cancer research, fundraising for The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund walk the last 8 years, and raising funds for many other charities.
Paul was devoted to his family, coined the term “the Papi Do List”, always willing to drop anything to help with what was needed. He created and continued many family traditions, including hosting large family gatherings around all of the holidays. He was passionate about genealogy, connecting with family members from all over the world.
He spent his mornings filling the house with music and always singing along. Paul was a diehard Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots fan. He enjoyed golfing, gardening and bowling in the Fun Lovers league for the past 30 years. Paul will be missed for his great sense of humor, compassion, and enormous passion for life.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Jean M. Whittier (Mosca); devoted and loving children; Jason B. Whittier and his wife Jennifer of Wales; Carolyn O. Hsiao and her husband William of Northborough; his 8 cherished grandchildren Emily, Hannah, Abbigail, Savannah, Oliver, Jackson, Benjamin and Madison; and his dear sisters Bonnie Fenton and Susan Whittier. In addition, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Visiting Hours will be held at Brasco & Sons Memorial Funeral Home, 325 Trapelo Rd, Belmont on Monday, February 7 from 4:00 - 7:00 PM. Relatives and Friends are respectfully invited to attend a Funeral Service at All Saints Episcopal Church, 17 Clark St, Belmont on Tuesday morning February 8 at 11:00 AM.
