Paul J. Pendrok, 71, of Alna, died on April 27, 2017 after a brief illness.

He was born in Hartford, Connecticut on April 3, 1946 to Joseph J. and Eleanor C. (Larsen) Pendrok.

Paul moved to Maine with his wife Carla in 2000 and they resided in Alna for the past eleven years. He was a jack-of-all trades but worked primarily as a logger in his younger years and as a sub-contractor later.

Paul loved gardening, animals and the outdoors in general.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Carla; three stepchildren, Shane Briggs and Jamie Briggs, both of Connecticut, Jessie Kupersmith of Arizona, and five stepgranddaughters, Serena, Cori, Morgan, Alexandra and Zoe.

Private services will be held later in the spring. If you wish to do something in Paul’s name, please consider donating to St. Jude’s Hospital or Lincoln County Animal Shelter, or simply give a smile or flower to someone to lift their day or plant a tree in his memory.

Arrangements are under the care of Direct Cremation of Maine, 182 Waldo Ave., Belfast. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.directcremationofmaine.com.
