In Memoriam: Red Bank Resident Paul Germane, 72

Red Bank resident Paul Germane, formerly of Eatontown, passed away on Sunday, Aug. 4. He was 72.

“Born in Brooklyn, NY to Dominic and Cecelia Germane, Paul was the youngest of three children. Free spirited and full of life, Paul was at one with the ocean and deeply enjoyed surfing in his younger years. A skilled and talented craftsman, Paul worked throughout his life as a carpenter, not just as a career, but also as a creative hobby and especially enjoyed making furniture. Working on cars was also something Paul enjoyed spending time doing. Above all else, Paul relished time spent with family and friends and he truly lived life to the fullest.”
