Obituary of Paul B. Hannisian

Paul Brian Hannisian passed away unexpectedly on December 21st, 2023 at the age of 64. Paul was born in Boston, MA on June 24th, 1959 to Richard (Dick) and Elizabeth (Betty) Hannisian of Milton, MA. He graduated from Milton High School in 1978. He was a resident of Billerica, MA since 1991. 

Paul made his living working as a Pressman for The Boston Globe for 44 years, retiring in June of 2021, following in his fathers Richard’s footsteps. When Paul was not at work, he had a passion for model trains, something he picked up from his father, or you could catch him ski-mobiling in the winter or on his ATV in the Spring and Summer in New Hampshire with his best friend Richard Proctor. In his younger years, he loved to celebrate his birthday with a trip to Vegas, checking out different casinos and amusement rides on the strip. He never had any children of his own, but was an amazing uncle to his four nieces and one nephew. 

Paul was predeceased by his sister Marie and brother Richard (Ricky) and is survived by his sister Betty Ann and her daughter Ann Marie, his brother Robert and his wife Kate and their daughter Aurora, his sister Jane, and his brother John and his wife Kerrie and their children Cody, Samantha, and Chloe. Memorial visitation will be held in the Burns Funeral Home, 354 Boston Rd.(Rt. 3A), Billerica, Thursday, January 18, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. Relatives and friends invited.
