Paul Froehlich

Paul Froehlich, age 82, of W. Springfield, passed away Sunday, March 8, 2020 at St. Vincent Health Center.

He was born in Erie on January 12, 1938, a son of the late Albert and Ellen Linstrom Froehlich.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Paul Jr., at the age of 3 and a sister, Judy.

Paul is survived by his wife of 61 years, Gail Wurst Froehlich; his children, Carol A.
