Paul R. Meunier

AUBURN — Paul R. Meunier, 74, of Auburn died on Thursday, May 25, at his home.

He was born on November 19, 1942, in New Haven, Conn., a son of the late Phillip and Frances (Tibbetts) Meunier. He grew up in West Haven, Conn., attending local area schools and moved to Maine in the mid 1970s.

Phillip served his country in the U.S. Navy between July 1961 and August 1965. He worked as a paver until his retirement and began volunteering at Community Concepts as a driver in 1999, continuing to volunteer until his death. He touched hundreds of people’s lives with volunteering, always helping where he could.

His best years were during his recovery years; once he got his foundation, he became happy and was grateful and generous. He was very giving of himself to anyone in need. He was an avid swimmer and loved books, both reading and collecting. He also was very fond of horses, volunteering as a groomsman, and he collected elephants.

He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews whom he adored and was equally loved by. They will miss his annual summer visits to Connecticut. He was also the brother of the late Arthur, Phillip and James Meunier.
