Paul began his career at the age of 18 with Paine Webber, Jackson and Curtis in Boston. Through dedication and perseverance, he remained with the firm through its later acquisition by UBS, building a long and respected career. Over 47 years, he earned many promotions and ultimately served as a Divisional Vice President and Control Officer.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his children, Paul Gordon Jr. of Acton, Michelle Sorrentino and her husband Tony of Boxford, and Christopher Gordon and his wife Laura Vanaria of Wayland. He was predeceased by his dearly loved son, Jeffrey Gordon of Melrose. Also surviving him are his sister, Nancy Gordon, and his brother-in-law, Robert Nugent of Mashpee. Paul was a proud grandfather to Ava and Anthony Sorrentino and to Lila Gordon.

Paul enjoyed a variety of hobbies. He was a devoted New England Patriots fan, a collector of many things, and someone who loved reading and learning. His curiosity, passion for knowledge, and appreciation for the unique were evident in everything he did.
