Paul W. McCartney

Paul W. McCartney, 65, of Browndale, died Friday evening at the VNA Hospice Unit at Community Medical Center, Scranton. He is the husband of Carol Zawisky McCartney, Browndale. They were married on April 5, 1964.

Born September 27, 1942, in New York City, he was the son of the late Roy and Esther MacPhee McCartney.

Paul attended New York public schools and was a member of the Roman Catholic Community of Forest City. He loved baseball and was a lifelong Yankees fan. That love was evident to anyone he came in contact with during his 20 year association with the Forest City Little League, where he coached and eventually served as commissioner. He was a wonderful and loving husband, a devoted and joyful father, and grandfather, his favorite roll. He always had time for his family and friends. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed everyday and everybody. He will be greatly missed.

In times of adversity, which included his recent illness, he had an unshakable faith. That faith teamed with his own affable nature, was and is a great inspiration to his friends and family.

He is also survived by two sons, Paul and wife Karen, Peckville, and Robert and wife Beth, Browndale; one brother Kenneth McCartney, Syosset, NY and a sister Judy Campbell, Long Island, NY; 3 grand daughters Megan, Miranda, and Allison; several nieces and a nephew.

He is preceded in death by a sister Phyllis McCartney.
