Paul Neumann

Paul Neumann, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and proud U.S. Navy veteran, passed away peacefully at his home in Florida on May 4, 2025. He was 93 years old.

Born on June 3, 1931, Paul lived a life marked by service, dedication, and love. He began his journey serving his country in the United States Navy, an experience he carried with immense pride throughout his life. His stories of Navy life—filled with adventure, camaraderie, and resilience—were cherished by all who knew him.

Following his military service, Paul began a long and successful career with General Motors, where he pursued his passion for automobiles. Known for his work ethic and love of engineering and design, Paul took great pride in his contributions to the company.

Family was the heart of Paul’s world. He was married to his first wife, Toni (Bentley) Neumann, for 50 years until her passing in 2007. Later, he found love again and spent the next 15 years with his second wife, Karen Neumann, building a life filled with joy and companionship.

Paul is survived by his loving wife, Karen; his son, Paul Neumann (Deborah); daughters, Pamela LaGreca (John) and Jill Schulze (William); and stepchildren, Beth Ismirle and Mark Ismirle (Jane). He was a devoted grandfather to Eric Neumann (Mandy), Amber Kotchman (Paul), Jenna Neumann, Timothy Trendell, Alison Fuscaldo (Joseph), Jay Lovelady, Kenny Lovelady, Nicholas Schulze, Andrea Schulze, and step-granddaughters Stephanie, Danielle, Jessica, and Shannon. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren: Joseph, Scarlett, Dylan, and Lennon.

A celebration of Paul’s life will take place on Thursday, May 8 at 11:00 AM at Cocoa Beach Community Church. A private family service will be held at a later date.

Paul will be remembered for his generous heart, gentle humor, strong values, and unwavering devotion to his loved ones. His life was a testament to integrity, kindness, and strength. He leaves behind a legacy of love, pride, and cherished memories.
