Paul Pintus 

Paul was born into a refugee family two years after his parents and two sisters immigrated to Saskatchewan, Canada from Eastern Europe. He was thereby the "first Canadian" in the family.
A lifelong interest in outdoor nature led Paul to an initial career in environmental sciences which morphed into software engineering. His work assignments took him to many locations in Canada and, eventually, to New England.
Here he met Susan. Next month, they will be celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary. They have been active members of First Lutheran Church of Waltham for 25 years. Their mutual interests are camping, hiking and reading.
In his "second career" Paul worked as a pastoral visitor and hospice volunteer at The Brigham and a local hospice agency. He has been a staunch supporter of Chaplains On the Way for over a decade, mostly as a Board
member and, for the past couple years, in the Breakfast Program kitchen.
"I have been blessed with so many opportunities to experience the wonders of our natural world and close human human connections."
