He was also predeceased by "his boy" Kato, his beloved Lhasa Apso.
Mr. Rosborough was born in Boston, January 19, 1930, a son of William and Melva (Murphy) Rosborough. He spent his early years growing up in Millville and moved to Uxbridge as a teenager to live with his brother, Russell. He worked as a loom fixer and supervisor for several textile mills throughout the Blackstone Valley. At the age of 60, he retired from the Stanley Woolen Mills.
Together with Helen, Paul enjoyed travel, whether enjoying the sights in Europe, island hopping in Hawaii, cruising the Caribbean, or driving cross country with their family. They loved to Polka, traveling to Polka festivals in Michigan and 40 consecutive years to Seven Springs in Pennsylvania. He and Helen did everything together. After she died in 2021, he enjoyed eating out, going to the casinos, and day trips with his daughters to Mystic where he would sit for hours watching the boats.
A United States Army veteran of the Korean Conflict, Mr. Rosborough proudly served as a Sergeant in the United States Army at the 38th Parallel in Korea.
The family would like to thank Salmon VNA & Hospice as well as the compassionate caregivers from Salmon Home Health, especially Judy who was with his family at Paul’s passing.
