It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paul G. Heffron, who entered eternal rest on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Sawtelle Family Hospice House in Reading. Paul was 77 years old at the time of his passing. He was born on October 9, 1948, in Boston and spent his formative years in Mattapan, where he was the cherished son of the late Edward D. and Frances G. (Miller) Heffron.
Paul's academic journey began in the halls of Boston's elementary schools, culminating in his graduation from Boston Latin High School. He pursued his passion for mathematics at Boston University, where he earned his bachelor's degree.
In 1980, Paul wed the love of his life, Barbara (nee; Gallo). Together, they built a beautiful life for 45 wonderful years, residing in Peabody for the past 43 years. Paul dedicated his professional life to the field of technology, working as a software engineer for Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston until his retirement in 2020.
An avid sailor and nature lover, Paul was a former member of the Pelargic Sailing Club in Dorchester and the Boston Mycological Club. He found joy and endless happiness feeding and watching the countless birds and wildlife that came to his home's feeding platform.  Paul was also an avid Red Sox Fan and a season ticket holder. He also enjoyed traveling to Europe, Iceland and Dominica
Paul is lovingly survived by his devoted wife, Barbara G. (Gallo) Heffron, and his sister, Joany M. Sasso. His warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.
