BELFAST — Paul Edward Victor Rosenlund, 72, died peacefully in the early morning hours of Sept. 14, 2014, in his Belfast home. His partner, Kathy, was by his side.

Paul was born Aug. 12, 1942, in Massachusetts, son of Constance and Warren. Outside of his career in publishing at KMWorld, Paul loved weekend "yard saling," Florida evenings sipping a good dry martini, and cooking delicious food for friends and family.

Though he made his home in Boca Raton, Fla., and "summered in Maine," Paul was a true New Englander, as evidenced by his salty but jovial demeanor, and his trademark beard. That memorable demeanor granted Paul the uncanny ability to relate to people in a way that was thoroughly honest yet surprisingly reassuring. His family and friends will miss his unconditional support and irreverent sense of humor.

Paul is survived by his partner, Kathy; her children, Alex and his wife, Louise, currently residing in Yokohama, Japan, Miles and his wife, Sara, of Belfast, and Lillian and her husband, Adam, of Salem, NH; his daughter, Kristen; his grandchildren, Vera and Juliet; his sister, Pamela; and his mother, Constance.

Paul's family would like to thank hospice of Kno-wal-Lin, especially Katie, Wanda and Regina.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Kno-wal-Lin.

A private interment will be held at Gordon Cemetery.

Arrangements are under the care of Riposta Funeral Home.
