2 PM- 4 PM
Paul Steven Stoler passed away peacefully in his sleep after a prolonged illness on Wednesday, January 8th. He was born on September 5th,1945, and was seventy-nine years of age.
Paul was a wonderful, person, a fun and loving husband, father, father-in-law, brother and, devoted grampy. A natural storyteller, he was a force of nature and commanded the attention of any room he was in. Paul had a tremendous zest for living and we traveled to many exotic and exciting cities and countries over the years. Whether he was trying to swim with the dolphins in Greece, snapping photos of the elephants in Africa, sailing across the ocean to England, or taking in the view of the desert from the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, he made every minute of our adventures special.
He was born in Far Rockaway and grew up with his brother Richie, and cousins Gary, Linda, Bobby, and Andy, who lived nearby. He loved the beach there and we made many visits to see his ancestral home. Paul loved to fish and be anywhere near the water. We met in Amaganset over 50 years ago and have been together ever since.
He worked in the restaurant business for many years, as an owner, manager, and later as a bartender. From there, he switched to working for the Census, and then for the TSA where he became a Master Trainer, helping to ensure nothing untoward slipped onto a plane.
Paul loved spending time with his family: his brother Dan and sister-in-law Sue, his cousins Gary and Vicki, his daughter and son-in-law, Lauren and Mike, and, for the last 5 years, his granddaughter, Madison Grace, whom he loved to the moon and back. I think he was most sad that he would never see her again.
We will all miss him so much.

Barbara also cherished her beloved sister, Joanne Elizabeth Kauper, whose strong bond and lifelong friendship was a central part her life. After attending Lady Cliff College Barbara worked for Columbia Presbyterian Hospital before beginning a long and distinguished career at the Waldorf Astoria Towers. She was often referred to as “the face of the towers” and served as a gracious host and confidant to celebrities, world leaders and stewards of industry. What defined Barbara was her ability to make every guest feel valued and genuinely important regardless of prominence or position. Barbara cherished her lifelong friendships with her colleagues that were not only based in camaraderie but represented their loyalty and genuine affection for each other. Barbara was well known for her calligraphy. The Waldorf often commissioned her for this exceptional talent. This skill reflected her precision, artistry, and impeccable standards.

Barbara was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, loyal friend and a woman of deep Catholic faith.

Jacqueline (Niego) Turner of Manhattan, New York, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on March 4, 1937, in the Bronx, she was the beloved daughter of Olga and Joseph Niego. A proud New Yorker through and through, Jacqueline built a life defined by devotion—to her family, her faith, and her work. After graduating from Cathedral High School in New York City, she spent over three decades serving the United States Government with dedication and professionalism before continuing her career in the private sector with more than two decades at Bristol Myers Squibb. Her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence earned her the respect of colleagues across the years. In 1994, Jacqueline married Nicholas Turner, with whom she shared a deep faith and a love of dancing until his passing. Together, they made their home in Manhattan, where Jacqueline lived for the remainder of her life. Jacqueline was a lifelong and active member of the Catholic Church, serving faithfully as a lector for many decades. Her voice, presence, and reverence were well known and cherished within her parish community. Outside of work and church, Jacqueline was an avid New York Yankees fan, and she found great joy in ballroom dancing— a passion that brought her friendship and movement. Jacqueline is survived by her loving sister, Maureen Selskis, and by her many nieces and nephews: Joseph Niego, Michael Niego, James Niego, Kathleen Lawson, Patrick Callahan, Jeanne Confehr, Jacqueline Selskis, Mary Carney, and Albert Selskis. She was a devoted and cherished aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt, and she leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews who will forever hold her memory close. She is preceded in death by her siblings Joseph Niego, Nora Niego and Victoria Callahan, whom she loved dearly. Jacqueline will be remembered as a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt; a woman of faith; a loyal friend; and a true New Yorker who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
