Paul Jendzejec Obituary

August 6, 1949 - December 20, 2007. Paul Jendzejec, while surrounded by his loved ones, returned to his Heavenly Father on 20 Dec 2007. He was born in Providence, RI on 6 August 1949. He grew up in Coventry RI, earned a Civil Engineering degree from Northeastern University and a Master's from Boston University. Paul was a dedicated and loyal engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers. His career with the Army Corps of Engineers took him many places to include Germany and Israel and brought him to Colorado Springs 24 years ago; overseeing the construction of the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC) at Falcon Air Station, which is now Schriever Air Force Base. He was a devoted and loving family man. He attended the Community of Christ church with his family; contributing his skills as a member of the building committee. Paul was a Boy Scout Assistant Scoutmaster and enjoyed camping trips with his sons; Philmont being the ultimate experience. He was also a Boy Scout Wood Badge in the Antelope Patrol and was a member of the Order of the Arrow. He and his wife sponsored a number of Air Force Academy cadets who became extended family. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Walter and Virginia Jendzejec and his son Ryan. Paul is survived by his wife Susan, and his children who he dearly loved and was extremely proud of, daughter Kaeley, and sons Justin and Andrew. Also surviving him is his twin sister Pat Millea of West Warwick, RI and Ronnie St. Jean of Coventry, RI. A Celebration of Paul's Life will be held on Saturday, 5 January 2008, 2 p.m. at Community of Christ, 2502 Palmer Park Blvd. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in his name. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Memorial Hospital for their compassion and the loving care they gave Paul. We will miss him immensely, but are assured of his deep love for each of us and take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and resides with his Lord and Savior. Till we meet again…

I wish to express my deepest sympathies to Paul's family. Paul and I were roomates and I was in his pledge class at Phi Beta Alpha Fraternity, Northeastern University. I have fond memories of those days and through the years of our graduation in 1973. Paul was a good friend.

Our heartfelt condolescences go out to all of Paul's immediate and extended family for your loss of Paul. We friends of Paul's also feel the loss. Paul was a shinning light in a sometimes dark world, and left the world a better place than he found it. We're all blessed to have known Paul, and thankful to God for the time He loaned Paul to us. Paul's now home with his Father, and we shall be with Paul again when we're called home also.

Susie, Justin, Andrew and Kay,

Although we cannot be with you, we feel your profound loss.

We have many fun memories of Uncle Paul and that is what we'll always remember.

Whenever a lobster or pierogi passes our lips, we'll think of him and know that he is enjoying them with us!

Our love to you all,
Jen, Jason & kids

I am very sorry to learn of Paul's passing. My sympathy to his family and friends, and although I have not seen Paul in many years, he and I grew up together and were the best of friends during our childhood on Edward and Chopin Sts. We were inseparable as children, and sadly as we grew - we grew apart. We were just looking at old family movies and there were many of Paul and I with our baseball caps and mitts. In the end after all, its just the memories that remain and the memories of the times we shared will aways be very special.

Paul has been a good friend and neighbor for more than 20 years, having lived next door to his wonderful family and seeing what a fine husband, father and man he was. Whether we were discussing our yards, our families, our homes and at times playing golf I always enjoyed our conversations and camaraderie. I remember the time he and I installed a new roof on my house and made a pact never to do it again. I will miss my friend. I remember the last conversation I had with him prior to his becoming ill. I told him how nice it was for my wife and I to be alone again after many years of raising children. He mentioned how much he loved his boys but was also really looking forward to being alone with Suzy and starting life anew. Goodbye Paul, good travels. I'll see you on the other side.

Paula,Tom Ralston

Our Love and Prayers are With You Now as Always. May You Find Peace and Comfort in Knowing that Paul is in the Circle of God's Loving Embrace.
