1950 – 2015

AUBURN — Paul Gerard Dufour, 65, of Turner, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at the Androscoggin Hospice House surrounded by many loving family members.

Paul was born on May 5, 1950, the first child of the late Florian and Lillian (Dionne) Dufour. He was educated in Lewiston Schools and graduated from Lewiston High School in 1970.

During his working career, Paul was employed as a route driver by Pepsi, Oakhurst Dairy and Country Kitchen Bakery. In his retirement years, he worked for United Ambulance transporting patients to their appointments. He was well-known for his work ethic, wonderful smile and cooperative attitude. Paul was an avid sports fan and excellent athlete. He was passionate about golfing, hunting and following the Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots. Paul gave back to the community by officiating soccer and hockey games for many years. He was a member of East Auburn Baptist Church. Family was of upmost importance to Paul. Hardly a day passed when he wasn’t with his wife, daughters or grandchildren. Annual weeks at Eagle Lake developed memories that they all will cherish forever.

Paul is survived by his wife, Linda of Turner; daughter, Tina White and husband, Leon, of Turner; daughter, Lisa Beaulieu and husband, Eric, of Lewiston; sister, Doris Tutlis and her husband, Joseph, of Carrabassett Valley; sister, Linda Baril and her husband, Gerard, of Carrabassett Valley; grandchildren, LJ, Julia, Taylor, Gavin and Abraham White; and Marissa and Lillian Beaulieu also survive him.
