Paul Edward

Reynolds

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Paul Edward Reynolds, beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and dear one to so many who knew him. Paul passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026, at his home in Winslow.  Born on December 3, 1946, to George and Leona Reynolds, Paul was a proud 6th generation farmer who spent his life close to the land and community that he loved.   

In his youth, Paul was an accomplished athlete and an especially impressive  basketball player. Leading his teams at Winslow High School, The University of  Maine, and Thomas College, Paul is remembered for his dedication and fortitude  on and off the court. He parlayed that love of sports into a love for supporting his  children and grandchildren in all of their athletic and artistic endeavors. He was a  regular at Winslow High School sports, Houlton Football games, UMF basketball  games, dance recitals, youth soccer matches, swim meets, and music recitals.  He always showed up. He was influential to not only his family but was a favorite teacher and coach at Winslow Junior High School for many years, remembered always for his wit, ability to connect and engage with students, and for his remarkable deep timbre voice.   

Paul married his best friend, Sandra Lee Grenier, on September 14, 1974.  Together they built a home full of warmth, music, laughter, and boisterous  gatherings where “the more the merrier” was always their motto. Together they  enjoyed sunsets, playing cards, sitting around a bonfire, listening to old records  and cassette tapes, and being surrounded by family and friends. Though her passing in 2020 was incredibly difficult for Paul, he continued to find community, make new friends, and find joy in spending time with his loved ones. There is some comfort in knowing that the two of them are reunited.  

Paul is predeceased by his parents and beloved wife Sandra. Paul is survived by  children Brian Reynolds of Houlton, Eric Reynolds of Winslow, Kris Reynolds and  his wife Stephanie Reynolds of Winslow, Casey Everett and her husband Michael  Everett of Rockport, and daughter-in-law Susan Reynolds of Winslow; his  cherished grandchildren Damon, Noah, Kurtis, Jackson, Lexi, Jason, Matthew,  Boden and Cyrus; his brothers Gary and wife Dianne and Timothy and wife Nancy;  and his special friend Barbara Lawe who brought so much joy to his life in his  final years.   

The family will receive those who wish to pay tribute to Paul at the Winslow VFW at 175 Veteran Drive in Winslow on Friday, November 20th at 2:00 for a Celebration of Life and reception to follow. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to the Winslow Basketball Boosters: checks may be made out to Winslow High School Basketball Boosters and sent to: Winslow High School, 20 Danielson St., Winslow, ME  04901
