Obituary for Paul P. Bramhall
Paul Philip Bramhall, Sr., 83, of Friendship, passed away on February 3, 2019 at Cove’s Edge in Damariscotta.
Paul was born on November 24, 1935 in Friendship, Maine to Philip Bramhall and Thelma (Simmons) Bramhall.
Paul attended local schools and was a graduate of Waldoboro High School. After high school he joined the Army where he served in Germany. On October 5, 1968 he married Joyce Neal in Friendship and they were married 50 years. He worked at Bath Iron Works for 35 years until he retired. After BIW he was a stern man for his son Bill and grandson Chris on board of the Jericho Queen.
Paul enjoyed hunting, fishing, ice fishing, candle pin bowling and attending local fairs, particularly the Union and Windsor Fairs. He was a member of the Advent Christian Church. He was also a long time member of the Friendship Fire Department and when his health did not allow him to be as active he would still go visit the department.
