JEFFERSON — Robert P. “Paul” Burton Jr., age 64, of Uselma Ave., Jefferson, died Wednesday, July 25, 2012, at Jefferson Healthcare Center, where he had been a patient the past three weeks.

He was born April 6, 1948, in Memphis, Tenn., the son of Robert Paul and Ruby Marquerite (Williams) Burton Sr. He was married to Virginia “Gene” Kuhn (nee Sokol) on May 7, 1983, in Nantucket, Mass., and was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Jefferson.

He had received his BA Degree from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., a Masters Degree from the University of Maine in Orono, and an Associate Degree from Kent State.

He retired in 2011 from the Ashtabula County Medical Center where he worked as a Physical Therapy Assistant. In his free time, “Paul” liked to backpack and spend time outdoors, however, his love of books and music were truly a passion to him.

He is survived by his wife, Virginia “Gene” Burton of Jefferson; daughter, Nicole A. Pekol of Parma; son, David J. (Brandy) Kuhn of Clayton, N.C.; sister, Sheila B. Malone of Walnut Bottom, Pa.; a nephew, Christopher A.
