Paul Carlin

Paul Carlin, a long-time Pima resident, passed peacefully from his residence at the Heritage House in Safford to his eternal life Thursday, December 18, 2014. Paul was born June 29, 1935 in Canton, Ohio. Paul endured many hardships throughout his life, but was always positive, friendly and cheerful to others. He was an avid stamp collector and amateur historian and geographer. He extensively studied Route 66 and countries of the world. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, love of learning and adventure, and his strong work ethic. Paul was preceded in death by his father, George Carlin, mother, Hazel Carlin, sister, Jean Carlin (Chuck), and nephew, James Carlin. Paul is survived by his brothers, George Carlin from Chandler, Arizona and Donald Carlin (Kerri) from Henderson, Nevada. We will miss our Big Brother. Services for Paul Carlin will be January 10 at 10:30 in the Pima Cemetery, with Pastor Paul Schulz of the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church Officiating.
