His sister, Arlene Henry, John and Kathy Billak, in-laws; his former wife, Judith Hollein and his extended family and many beloved nieces and nephews as well as his best friend, Chris Gillotti and his family. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, he spent most of his early years on Cora Street in the Brushton area of the City. He was a proud graduate of Westinghouse High School and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, while working full time at the Pittsburgh Lake Erie Train Station and the YMCA as a laborer. Upon graduation from Pitt, Paul started in the Municipal Bond industry in 1960 at the First National Bank in Chicago. His career spanned over 48 years, and he loved the business. He excelled at trading, underwriting, and sales, and few had his talent and creativity. He was with many great firms over the years, and owned Henry Kearns Municipals, West Penn Municipals and BFA Municipal Securities. During a time when Pittsburgh was a center of commerce and industry, Paul was a colorful legend in the municipal bond business. He served as the President of the Bond Club of Pittsburgh and was a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Municipal Traders.

A great history buff, he possessed an amazing memory filled with more trivia than imaginable. He loved telling stories about what once was in Pittsburgh. Paul loved cars and may have traded more cars than bonds. He also loved dogs, having 12 Dobermans at once. His final puppies were miniature dachshunds, Max, Otto and Erika. Paul served on innumerable boards and commissions, was as an AAU swimming official, football and soccer coach and a member of the Duquesne Club for 45 years.

RONALD MILLER Of Hilton Head Island, SC died in his home on November 8, 2019. He was the son of Francis and Grace Miller, both deceased. He was born May 2, 1939 in Pittsburgh, PA. He was a graduate of Stowe High School class of 1957 and The University of Pittsburgh class of 1961. Ron began his professional career with Reuben H. Donnelley in Pittsburgh where he would be promoted to National Sales Training. Ron's gift for teaching and instruction would lead to success as an entrepreneur, first with the Pennysaver, which he founded with friends Marty and Mike Napolitano in 1975. Together they would build one of the largest direct mail advertising organizations in the country. A successful sale of the Pennysaver was followed by his leadership, along with Larry Paulozzi, in expanding the Town Planner Community Calendar throughout North America. During these years Ron's greatest accomplishments were not merely the financial success of the organizations he founded, but rather the lives he touched. A common description of an encounter with Ron has always been "He made me feel important, he made me feel special". He retired to Hilton Head along with his wife Janet in 1992, where he enjoyed golfing at Oyster Reef and Wexford where he served on the Board of Directors from 2003 to 2005.

Shawn (Rose) Butler-Naimark, Samuel Naimark, Monroe (Callie) Naimark, Robert Naimark and David Naimark, and 10 great-grandchildren: some by blood and some by love. She lived most of her life in the McKeesport and White Oak, PA. Her home growing up often included lots of extra family members; aunts, cousins, an uncle or two and grandparents. It was lively and full of life. It developed her deep sense of inclusion and extended family. Mona graduated from McKeesport High School in 1950.She received certification as a Blood Bank Technician from McKeesport Hospital in 1952. Mrs. Naimark served for many years as secretary of the former Congregation Tree of Life–Sfard in White Oak, PA. (now Temple B'nai Israel) where she and her family were also members.

Mona was a lifetime member of Hadassah, and volunteered with her husband in many community service projects. She worked many years in the blood bank at McKeesport Hospital, PA and the Forbes Regional Medical Center in Wilkinsburg, PA. Kindness and caring were her hallmark attributes. She was able to make friends feel like family all thru her life because of her ability to reach out, care, listen and remember those she embraced in her life. Mona was also fun loving; enjoying travel, the beach and games. She played Maj Jong the very week before she died. These Maj Mavens were dear friends to Mona. As her physical abilities declined, the comradery, laughter, the mental stimulation and social networking were very important. The snacks were good. And so was the winning! A Memorial Service was led by Rabbi Batsheva Meiri at Temple Beth Ha'Tephila on October 27, 2019. A graveside service was held Monday, October 28, 2019 in the Tree of Life–Sfard Cemetery McKeesport, PA with Rabbi Paul Tuchman officiating.
