Beloved husband of Sabina (Titelbaum) Sowsy. Loving father of Karen Sowsy, Michael Sowsy, and David Sowsy.

Paul was involved in many activities of his community and synagogue. He served as President of West Bridgewater Kiwanis and 2 terms as President of Temple Israel in Brockton.
Paul was an amateur radio operator, who provided communications for loved ones on different sides of the world and during the bicentennial Independence Day celebration in Boston.
Paul enjoyed traveling and taking cruises. His dream was to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and he was able to do that in 2018.
Paul loved photography and taking pictures of his family was his greatest joy.

January 8, 2023 at 4:23 pmThe Beautiful Family of Paul Sowsy,
I have had the honor and privilege of knowing this incredible family for nearly 30 years when my family joined Temple Israel in Brockton. I later taught in their religious school and came to know them through Ben and Justin, who are the ages of my own children. Karen is my dearest friend. Paul demonstrated a sense of pride in family as most patriarchs should. His love and devotion to his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was tangible to all who had the honor of bearing witness. I, too, come from a line of love and faith and understand the magnitude of this loss. You, his family are a beautiful, ongoing legacy to this amazing man. May the memories of your husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather be a continued blessing to you all.
