Paul Lee Fred Leibowitz

Paul Lee Fred Leibowitz passed away on June 29, 2022, at Hunterdon Medical Center, surrounded by his adoring family, after a long illness. He was 80 years old. He was born in Bronx, NY, on February 2, 1942, to the late Benjamin Philip Leibowitz and Elizabeth Lee (Itzkin) Leibowitz.

Paul attended DeWitt Clinton High School in Bronx, NY. Paul led the data/telecommunications team for United Artists, Olivetti and then Roche Biomedical for nearly 30 years before switching professions to Flemington Furs for the last 36 years.

His love for watching and playing sports was a big passion from golf to baseball to bowling to tennis. He may have been the biggest New York Mets fan. He played basketball with his friends every Wednesday until he was 60. He enjoyed crossword puzzles, was an avid reader, relished traveling to their home in Florida and loved spending time with his family, especially sharing “cookies with grandpa”. He thrived on watching his children and grandchildren’s accomplishments and successes.

Above all, he was a loving and devoted husband, father, son, brother, brother-in-law, grandfather, uncle and a great and loyal friend.

Paul is survived by his loving wife of 60+ years, Marlene (Krum) Leibowitz, of Flemington, NJ; his son, Eric Leibowitz and partner Vivian Luo, of Freehold, NJ; his daughter Deborah (Leibowitz) Augustus and husband Paul Augustus, of Flemington, NJ; his daughter Melissa Leibowitz, of Deerfield Beach, FL; and his grandchildren, Brett Leibowitz, Amanda Leibowitz, Emily Augustus, Zoe Leibowitz and Michael Augustus and extended grandsons, William Luo and Harry Luo.
