Paul B. Slader passed away on Monday, Jan. 18 at the age of 90. 

A beloved husband, father, grandfather and Korean War veteran, Slader was born on Nov. 13, 1930, in New York City. He graduated from Milford High School in 1948, before finally settling down in Pleasantville.

In 1951, Paul volunteered to serve his country with the 7th Infantry Division in the strategic Iron Triangle of North Korea. Paul was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge for “excellent performance on duty.”

Paul was dedicated to a better life for his family, never missing a day of work. He loved vacations in Vermont, selling antiques, line dancing, but most of all his family. He will always be known for his quick wit, his infectious smile and his kind and compassionate spirit. Uncle Paul was a favorite among his nieces and nephews, always making everyone laugh.

Paul is survived by his wife, Mary; three children, Rose Mary, David and William; and 10 grandchildren.  

Funeral services were held at Holy Innocents Church on May 7. Interment followed on May 8 at North Milton Cemetery in Milton N.Y.
