Obituary for Paul Stephen Cohen

Paul S. Cohen 77, of Swampscott, entered eternal rest on April 4, 2018 surrounded by his family.

Paul graduated Boston University Magna Cum Laude and pursued his MBA at Northeastern University. At age 25 he started P&L Chemical and developed a carwash wax for distribution. From there, he worked for the Gillette Company as a chemical buyer in the toiletries division.

An entrepreneur at heart, Paul opened with his two brothers Camel Trucking in Chelsea and was president for thirty years. Paul loved to socialize with friends, sail, travel, cook, and dabble in the stock market. Most of all, he loved to be with his family. Paul was a very involved father and grandfather, and a wonderful husband. Paul married the love of his life, Lynne, and they celebrated 56 years of marriage. His family, to him, was his greatest accomplishment, and he will be missed beyond words.

He was the devoted husband of Lynne (Sosna); beloved father of Sharon & Kenneth Garber and Michelle & Marc Strager; adored grandfather of Lt. Andrew & Sarah Garber, James Garber, Peter Garber, Stephanie Strager, and Elizabeth Strager; dear brother of Harvey & Patricia Cohen, Barbara & Stephen Waldman, and Norman Cohen; and survived by many nieces & nephews.

Services will be held at Congregation Shirat Hayam 55 Atlantic Avenue, Swampscott on Sunday April 8 at 9:30 AM. Interment at Paoli Zedeck Cemetery in Everett.

Condolence calls maybe made at his late residence on Monday & Tuesday from 1-4 and 6-8PM.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Brain Injury Association of America www.biausa.org, or to the Kaplan Family Hospice House www.caredimensions.org, or a charity of one’s choice.
