Born on June 23, 1966, Paul was the son of the late Cynthia Kuc and the grandson of the late Helen Antis.He grew up in Finleyville—aka“Yak City”—a place he was very proud to call home.
Paul was the beloved soul mate of 15 years to Amy Jo Chiocca. He was a loving brother to Christopher Kuc (Johanna Swank) and Tammy Kuc Huggins (Bill). He was the devoted companion of his cherished Pit Bull/Staffordshire dog, Capone, who meant the world to him. Paul is also survived by nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Paul was a proud and dedicated employee of Frank B. Fuhrer Wholesale Co. in South Side, where he worked with loyal commitment and strong work ethic since 1995. He was also a respected member of Teamsters Local 250. In addition to his longtime career, Paul worked as a trusted security guard with Drusky Entertainment, most often at Vinoski Winery, a role he genuinely enjoyed.
A gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 12 pm -7 p.m. at Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317 (724-260-5546).
