Paul Edwin Eisenback

Paul Edwin Eisenback, 86, of Simpsonville passed away on Saturday, Octo­ber 10, 2020. He was born on October 23, 1933 in Jeffersontown to the late George and Mary (Walker) Eisenback. Paul grew up in a large and hardworking farming family and was a devout Roman Catholic. He was a current member of St. Michael Catholic church and an active member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Edward Cath­olic Church including time as its president. Paul survived multiple major accidents throughout his life. He attributed his mother's daily praying of the rosary as saving him in his first major accident in 1955 and in bringing him and five of his brothers safely home after serving in the military during wartime. Paul was a proud veteran of the United States Army where he endured two bitter cold winters in Korea as an Army mechanic. His career with Suburban Sanitation running the septic tank service lasted 45 years. Paul would give freely of his time and talents to help whoever was in need. His humility and strong work ethic were always evident.

His daughters will forever have loving memories of their father and mother who served as inspiration and models of love, family, and faith. His grandson has many wonderful memories climbing trees, cracking black walnuts, riding the tractor, and working in the garden with his grandfather.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Kay Powers Eisenback; his parents; siblings, Jerome "Doc", Leroy, Charles, John, Bertram, and Theresa.

Paul is survived by his daughters, Donna Riley, Sherry Vilanova (Jordi), Lisa Williams-Folchi (Dom); grandson, Ken Riley; siblings, Kenny, Mary Alice, Angela, David, and Harold.

A Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 am on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at St. Michael Catholic Church (3705 Stone Lakes Drive) with burial to follow at Floydsburg Cemetery in Crestwood. The family will hold a private visitation prior to the service.
