ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Windward Association of Retired Men presented late member Paul Yosick with its annual Founders Award.
A member since moving to Alpharetta in 2015, Yosick died Nov. 9 at age 79. He served as the association’s treasurer for five years and was instrumental in the Windward Veterans Day Flags Across the Dam event.
Member Leland Carawan presented the award to Yosick’s wife Barbara at a weekly breakfast meeting.
Yosick also supported the group’s participation in the annual Windward July 4 picnic and was the unofficial greeter of visitors and members at weekly meetings.
“Paul’s passing was a tremendous shock to WARM members,” member Eric Hempelman said. “He radiated positive energy and meant so much to so many people. He is greatly missed by all his WARM friends.”
After receiving a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Tri-State College in Indiana, Yosick spent more than 35 years working on air pollution control systems for power plants. He and his wife Barbara had three children.
The Windward Association of Retired Men is a voluntary organization that offers activities to current or past Windward residents who have retired or are considering it.
