In Memoriam: Paul L. Krinsky

Paul L. Krinsky, age 94 of Waterford, passed away on Saturday June 17, 2023, at the Hospice House in Auburn. He was born November 9, 1928, in Brooklyn, New York, a son of the late Nathan and Hilda (Rosengard) Krinsky.

Paul attended James Madison High School, City College of New York and was a member of the first graduating class of the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point in 1950.

After a combined eight years in the merchant marines and the US Navy, he spent his career back at Kings Point, ultimately serving as its Superintendent from 1987 until his retirement in 1993.

Upon retirement, Paul and his wife Audrey moved to Waterford, Maine where they became enthusiastic members of that great community. After Audrey passed away in 1999, Paul spent over twenty wonderful years with Anita Brause, splitting their time between Maine and New York City.

He is survived by his sons Ross Krinsky and his wife Kirstin and David Krinsky and his wife Lori; his partner Anita Brause, her daughters Debra Brause (Mike Dieffenbach) and Caryn Brause (Steve Breslow); and his cherished grandchildren Pete, Dan, Lucy, Nate, Alyssa, William, Ben, and Dahlia.
