Paul E. Gardinsky ("Peckles" or "Pickles") in his words…on this day, April 14th, 2024 kicked the bucket for the final time, surrounded by his loving family.

He is survived by his friend and ex-wife Susan J. Gardinsky; son, Alex Gardinsky and wife Pamela Gardinsky; daughter, Lauren Gardinsky and partner Ralph T. Burgos; his loving sister, Sandy Schillo and daughter Suzanne Schillo. He is also survived by his joys of life grandchildren, his buddies, Max Dillion, Levi Vincent and Ryley Thomas and his nieces, Jacie and Alexis and many treasured friends who he celebrated and enjoyed life with.
He enjoyed life to the fullest. He was a member of the Divine Mercy Church of Shenandoah formerly Saint Stanislaus where he was an active volunteer for the annual block parties; Ancient and Honorable Society of the Rum Dums where he was the 71st "GG", the Grand Guzzler.

Like glue to the office just about everyday AKA "West Street Pub."
