Paul F. Bodenweber

Paul F. Bodenweber, 61, of the Town of Ulster, NY, passed away at home surrounded by loved ones on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Born October 5, 1965, in Kingston, NY, he was the son of Barbara (Holodak) Bodenweber and the late Robert Bodenweber.

A man of brilliant mind and generous heart, Paul enjoyed a distinguished career at IBM, where his ingenuity, numerous patents, and contributions helped advance his field. He took great pride in his work and remained dedicated to it for as long as he was able.

A gifted craftsman and natural problem-solver, Paul could fix nearly anything. His garage was his sanctuary, where he loved bringing ideas to life and lending a helping hand. Above all, he cherished his family and was a proud, playful, and devoted "Poppy" to his beloved grandchildren.

Paul is survived by his wife, Patricia Bodenweber, his children, Zachary Bodenweber and Kristin Molinaro and her husband Mathew, his grandchildren, Mackenzie and Colin Molinaro, his mother, Barbara Bodenweber, and his siblings, Robert Bodenweber, Cathy Frangis and her husband William, and Karen Waligurski and her husband Wayne.
