Paul Louis Novello, Jr.
June 30, 1960 - November 15, 2024
Paul Louis Novello, Jr., age 64, of Bear, DE, passed away at his residence surrounded by his family on Friday, November 15, 2024.
Born in Wilmington, DE on June 30, 1960, he was the son of Carolyn “Connie” (Davis) Poswinski and the late Paul L. Novello, Sr. Paul studied auto body repair at Hodgson Vocational Technical High School and graduated from Christiana High School. He dedicated 37 years as a Local 42 Union Insulator and for years worked security for the NASCAR Cup garage at Dover International Speedway. Following retirement, Paul worked for Tek-Solv as a safety supervisor.
In his spare time, he enjoyed offshore fishing, working on his ’67 Camaro, and fixing cuckoo clocks. More importantly, Paul enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, whether it was coaching his daughter’s softball team in his earlier years, swapping stories over a good meal or taking rides in the golf cart with ‘Poppop’s buddy’, TJ. He was known for his ability to make anyone feel like family with his loving nicknames and welcoming attitude. Paul will always be remembered for his infectious smile, bright blue eyes, his one liners and giant bear hugs.
In addition to his father, Paul was preceded in death by his adored sister, Cynthia. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Kimberly; daughter, Jules (Tim); mother, Connie (Bob); grandchildren, TJ and Adrianna; sisters, Melissa, Angel (Mark) and Alyssa (Joe); nephew, Jared; niece, Felicity and a vast number of cousins and friends.

A second visitation will be held from 10 am until 11 am on Friday, November 22, 2024, at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish, 2431 Frazer Road, Newark, DE, where a Funeral Mass will be offered at 11 am. Interment will follow at Hickory Grove Cemetery, 428 Port Penn Rd., Middletown, DE.
