Obituary for Paul F Braudis

Paul Francis Braudis, 87 of Dorchester, passed away on Friday June 19, 2026 at Massachusetts General Hospital after a brief illness surrounded by family.

Born on February 20, 1939, in Boston to the late Walter and Ann (Donoghue), Paul grew up in South Boston where he was a graduate of Boston College High School, class of 1956. Paul went on to enlist in the United States Air Force where he served four years active duty. Following his discharge, he was an apprentice at the Boston Navy Yard where he started his civil service. He retired in 2001. After retirement, Paul spent several years working for Aramark at Fenway Park, home of his beloved Boston Red Sox!

Paul was a devout Catholic, attending mass faithfully until his passing and was a member of Saint Ann’s church, Saint Martin de Porres Parish, Neponset. He loved watching baseball, watching old John Wayne movies, and enjoying a good card game with an ice cold Budweiser. Friends remember him for his stories from South Boston and many travels for work and pleasure. He may best be remembered for always volunteering to taste test any of Mary Lou’s creations in the kitchen.

Paul was preceded in death by his wife Mary Lou (McPartlin), and his family finds peace knowing they are reunited. Beloved father of the late Susan Callahan and her husband, the late husband William of Braintree,

    Paul, it's difficult to find words at a time like this. I'm saddening for the loss your father. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, you'd no doubt walk up to heaven and bring him home again. Remember while we are mourning the loss of your father, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
