     Paul P. Nelson, 83, of Jefferson, passed away on Friday, February 7, 2020 at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester. Born and raised in Worcester, Paul was the son of the late Carl G. and Florence M. (Mercier) Nelson and lived the last 16 years in Jefferson.

Nelson and his wife, Julianne of Rutland and Lisa Bonzey and her husband, Charles of Millbury; five grandchildren, Kristen, Robert and Lindsey Bonzey, and Liam and Aidan Nelson; a great grandchild, Jayden Bonzey; many nephews and nieces.

In his earlier years, Paul worked as a machinist at David Clark Co. in Worcester. He enjoyed spending time in his woodworking shop at his home and making furniture for his children and grandchildren He loved going outside, working in his yard and simply enjoying nature.

Paul was a kind and gentle unassuming man who cherished his family and was affectionately known by them as “St. Paul.” He tried to mirror his life after the teachings of Jesus Christ with a calming reassurance to those who called upon him night or day.

First and foremost Paul was a family man. After being disabled as a young man, he persevered and assisted his wife, Jo-Ann with the daily responsibility of raising their family. His legacy of love and devotion will leave an indelible impression on generations to come and those who were blessed to know him. Paul will always be remembered for his passion for animals, nature and smoking his pipe, but most of all for his dedication and devotion to his family.
