Paul K. Hyland, 84, passed away Tuesday (Sept. 15, 2015) at Wellsville Manor Care Center following a lengthy illness.

Mr. Hyland was born on May 18, 1931 in Andover to Earl and Louise (McCormick) Hyland. He was a 1949 graduate of Greenwood Central School. On March 31, 1951, at the Blessed Sacrament rectory in
Andover, he married Carol A. Payne, who survives.

Paul worked as a machinist for Dresser-Rand Corporation in Wellsville from 1963 until his retirement in 1996. He previously was a self-employed farmer on the family homestead, worked as a driller for various oil producers and was a laborer for Joyce Pipeline.

In addition to his wife of 64 years, Paul is survived by four sons, Terry (Linda) Hyland of Perry, John (Jeanne) Hyland of Andover, Timothy (Mary) Hyland of Almond and Robert (Amy) Hyland of Manassas, Va.; one sister, Lorraine Joyce of Andover; 12 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by three sisters, Josephine Butler, Suzanne Slocum and Corrine Atwell and one brother, James Hyland.

Paul enjoyed gardening and especially took pride in his tomatoes. His love for country music prompted him to take many charter bus trips with his wife to country music destinations such as Branson, Mo. In high school, he was a talented athlete and carried that sports enthusiasm over to later life as an avid sports fan, especially enjoying Willie Mays.

Paul was a long time member of Blessed Sacrament Church. He was a member of the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers Moore Lodge 1580 and the Wellsville Moose Lodge 601. Additionally, he was a former Andover Village Trustee and served as president of the Andover Little League.

Visitation will be held on Thursday from 6-8 p.m. at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover. There will be a Mass of Christian Burial on Friday at 10:00 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church in Andover. Burial will follow in Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

Memorial contributions in Paul’s name may be made to Hart Comfort House of Allegany County, 141 East State St., Wellsville, NY 14895.
