Paul Kirlis, 69, of Derry, NH, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2024 after a courageous battle with a long illness. He was born on April 28, 1954 to the late George and Della (Royal) Kirlis of Peabody MA, where he was also raised and educated.
Warm, unbelievably caring, and fiercely loyal, Paul had the ability to make friends wherever he would go. He took great pride in his work whether as the proprietor of The Cigar Room in Pelham, NH or working for his home inspection company, Home Sweet Home. In recent years he was a team member at Canobie Lake Park, a job that he often reminisced of fondly as it brought him great joy. But the role that brought him the most happiness, pride, and fulfillment in life was that of a doting father and Papou (grandfather). Paul will be eternally missed by his children Amanda, Derek and Morgan, Andrew, and Nicholas as well as his granddaughter, Ella, who never ceased to put a beaming smile on his face.
In addition to his parents, Paul will be reunited with his beloved brother, Costa Kirlis, in the afterlife.
Following cremation, the Kirlis family will be holding a private family gathering to celebrate Paul’s life.
