Paul W. Whitley age 61 of Abington died unexpectedly Saturday October 23, 2010. He was the devoted husband for 35 years of the late Nancy A. (Munies) Whitley. Paul was born in Boston and raised in St. Mark Parish in Dorchester, a son of George H. and Mary R. (MacNeil) Whitley of Canton. He was a graduate of Boston English High School and Stonehill College. At the time of his death Paul was a special needs tutor with Education, Inc.
He treasured the time spent with his wife Nancy who was his loving companion, soul mate and inspiration from the earliest days when they first met at Stonehill College and where Paul was a member of the basketball team. He especially enjoyed entertaining his extended family at Sunday barbecues around his pool where the challenge was to make Paul break a sweat with the latest hot sauce. He will be fondly remembered as an intelligent, funny and gregarious man with a sharp wit. Paul was a fixture at all the athletic events of his many nieces and nephews and never failed to cheer them on and provide encouragement. He was the special master to his devoted dog Clancy.
