Paul T. Corballis   

PAUL T. CORBALLIS, age 77 of Danbury, died in Danbury Hospital, July 31, 2011.

He was born in Yonkers, N.Y. January 5, 1934 to Charles, a dentist and Anne (Sullivan), a homemaker and Yeoman F in the U.S. Navy during World War I. Paul was the youngest of four children. He attended Sacred Heart School in Yonkers until 8th grade. He was an altar boy at Sacred Heart as well as an Eagle Scout.

Paul graduated from Manhattan Prep High School and went on to Manhattan College with the aim of teaching math, but switched to business administration, earning a MBA at night school. He was a member of Sigma Beta Kappa Fraternity, serving a year as national president.

Mr. Corballis began his working career as house photographer with Johns Manville. In 1960, he joined Pitney Bowes and enjoyed more than 20 years there, eventually becoming Director of Personnel for the UK and Europe and was based in the English office from 1977 to 1982. After leaving Pitney Bowes, he went into partnership with member of Parliament (now Lord) Robin Corbett. Paul loved living in England and became the leading expert on the signage designating the name of pubs in England. He had a book published in the UK entitled Pub Signs. The book explored the beauty, history and artistry of these signs.

Upon his return to the U.S. in 1987, Paul ran Eagle Travel in Danbury until his retirement. His love of travel made this the perfect occupation for him and allowed him to continue his passion of traveling the world. His English experience led to a specialty in pub tours (possibly only groggily remembered by some participants). In his later years, Paul was heavily involved in the Kiwanis organization where he served as president twice. He was a hard worker and always gave his all to whatever job he was doing. Paul was a gifted amateur photographer and painter. He enjoyed restoring furniture and houses.

He is survived by four children, Laura Corballis of Bristol, UK, MeighanDutt of Newtown and Paul Corballis and Kieran Corballis, both of Charlottesville, Va. His is also survived by his big brother and best friend, Ben Corballis of Wilmington, Del; as well as four grandchildren, Emily, Colin and Jack of Newtown and Macie of Charlottesville. Additionally, he is survived by his dear friends and sometime chauffeurs, Bill and Joan Boehm of Danbury.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. Rose of Lima Church, 46 Church Hill Road, Newtown Thursday August 4, 2011 at 12noon. Interment will be private. Friends may call in the Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m. Paul’s faith was central to his life. His family requests that no flowers be sent, but instead a small contribution in memory of Paul be sent to Covenant House, Times Square Station, P.O. Box 731, New York, NY 10108-0900 or www.covenanthouse.org. To leave an online condolence go to www.honanfh.com.
