Paul S. Kadilak 1938-2020

Paul was born July 19, 1938, in Youngstown, the son of John and Mary Stefanic Kadilak. He was a 1957 graduate of Campbell Memorial High School and served his country for two years in the U.S. Army as an armored vehicle officer, from October of 1957 until 1959, stationed in Germany.

Upon his return from the service, Paul started working at the Youngstown Vindicator and retired as a circulation manager, after 40 years of service.

His passions included his grandchildren, spending time with family and friends, and deep sea fishing in Florida, where he owned a condo for several years and enjoyed vacationing.
