Paul Rossi, born on June 17, 1954, in Bayside Queens, New York, passed away peacefully in his wife's arms on August 1, 2023, in Sherman, Texas. His journey may have ended, but the impact he made on those around him will forever be cherished.
Paul's greatest love was his devoted wife of 38 years, Mia, with whom he shared a profound and loving bond. As Grampus, he brought endless joy and laughter to his adoring grandchildren, Viviana, Adriano, and Adelina. Paul's passion for sports was evident through his unwavering support for the Cleveland Browns, and his faith in Jesus Christ guided his actions and brought solace to his soul.
A broadcasting veteran of 45 illustrious years, Paul's last 12 years were spent as the Director of Sales at KTEN Television. He was not only a successful professional but also an extraordinary storyteller, captivating everyone he met with his humor and wit.
To know Paul was to love him, for his kindness and warmth left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of crossing paths with him.
Paul is survived by his wife, Mia; children, Brittany and Taylor Lingoni, Blair Rossi, and Trace Rossi; adoring grandchildren, Viviana, Adriano and Adelina Lingoni; twin brother and sister-in-law, John and Faith Rossi; countless nieces and nephews. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Francis and Rose Mary Rossi, and his sister, Lorraine Rossi.
