Obituary for Paul E. Benoit STILLWATER – Paul E. Benoit, 82, of Claremont Rd, died Tuesday, Jan 8th, at Samaritan Hospital, Troy, after an extended illness. Born in Cohoes, July 8, 1936, son of the late Eugene and Aline Langdoc Benoit, Paul had worked at the former Grand Union Warehouse in Waterford for 35 years, until the warehouse closed. He later worked part-time at Seymour’s Motorized Sports and Damn Good Beef Jerky for several years.

He was #1 engineer and conductor of his own railroad. A friendly guy, Paul could strike up a conversation with any and all, and always had a quick wit and slew of jokes.
