We are saddened to share the news of Paul W. Burns’ passing. Paul, age 80, died unexpectedly on Thursday, September 4 at Lowell General Hospital. Paul was born in Boston on September 5, 1944, and was the third son of the late Michael Albert Burns Sr. and Olive (Santarlasci) Burns. Raised in Somerville, MA, Paul called Nashua, NH home for the past 30 years.
Paul enjoyed an exciting career in business sales, with highlights including his time in Rhode Island working for L'Oreal Cosmetics and his years at Jordan's Furniture in Nashua, which would eventually become his home. Paul deeply valued time spent with family and friends, especially during the holidays. He had a passion for nice cars, good Italian food, and sharing laughter with friends at Dunkin Donuts.
Paul was the brother of the late Richard Burns and his wife Jane, and Michael Albert Burns Jr. (Al). He is survived by sister-in-law Frances Burns and his nieces and nephews: Debra Mistretta (Tom), Sandra McQuade (Larry), Laura Henseler (Sean), Michael Burns (Lori), Steven Burns (Darci), David Burns (Nancy), Paul Burns (Nancy), Gregg Burns (Michelle), and Chris Burns. In addition, Paul is survived by many great-nieces and nephews and two great-great nieces.
