Born June 26, 1925 in Norwood, Massachusetts, he was the son of John Nugent & Ethel Power Nugent. Paul grew up in Mt Rainier, Maryland and graduated from the high school there, whereupon he immediately enlisted in the US Navy.

Mr Nugent took the greatest delight in his many friends at Leisure World Maryland and Our Lady of Grace Church there. He was not a man for hobbies, although he did have have an interesting relationship with the sport of golf.

A memorial service will be held at a later date at Our Lady of Grace Church, Leisure World in Silver Spring, Maryland. The time & date will be announced.
