Paul Heltzel Obituary
Paul Emmet Heltzel, 69, passed away peacefully and quietly on the morning of Monday, June 30, 2014 at his home and in the company of family after a strong and brief fight with cancer.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts on May 26, 1945 to the late Robert E. and Mary Jane (Hazzard) Heltzel Sr., Paul was the first of seven children. As a loving son, husband, father and sibling he kept a constant watch over his family. Paul had a passion for sailing, downhill and cross country skiing, golf, tennis, and swimming, activities that he shared with his friends and his own children. A skilled collector of antique motor cars, he enjoyed driving them with family for cool summer treats and showcasing the vehicles on special occasions.
Paul excelled academically graduating with honors from Gilmour Academy, Gates Mills, Ohio and John Carroll University, University Heights, Ohio where he received his Bachelor of Science in Business Management. After working with Vista Volunteers and First National Bank of Miami, Miami, Florida he received his Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School University of Pennsylvania and later the Notre Dame Law School, South Bend, Indiana.
Prior to pursuing his Juris Doctorate, Paul was employed with the Ford Motor Company, Dearborne, Michigan in the comptroller's office, Booz, Allen Hamilton, Cleveland, Ohio as a Financial Consultant and as Director of Distributor and International Sales for American Motors Corporation (Wheel Horse Products Division).
After receiving his Juris Doctorate he returned to his hometown assuming responsibilities as a staff attorney for Nadler and Nadler LPA specializing in Corporate, Business and Banking Law. In 1984 he began his service in Trumbull County as Chief Counsel, Civil Division for the Trumbull County Prosecutor Office. During his tenure he provided legal counsel for the Trumbull County Board of Commissioners, The Planning Commission, Township Trustees, County Treasurer, Auditor, Clerk of Courts, Sheriff's Department, Recorder, Common Please court, Eleventh District Court of Appeals, Trumbull County Law Library, Fairhaven School and Hillside Hospital. In 1984 he was appointed by Ohio Attorney General as Special Counsel, Ohio Attorney General.
Attorney Heltzel practiced law at the office of DelBene, LaPolla and Thomas in an of counsel capacity in Warren, Ohio where he focused on New Business Formation, Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions, Secured Transactions, Wills, Trusts, Estates, Business Litigation and Insurance Law. He also served on the Board of Directors at Kenilworth Steel for 32 years.
On January 2, 2005 Paul began his initial term as a member of the Trumbull County Board of Commissioners, a position that he held until his death. To this position he brought both his private sector experience and his working knowledge of Trumbull County operations from the Trumbull County Prosecutors Office. Most importantly he brought with him a strong belief that public service is an honored profession that requires a lion-hearted effort on behalf of the people served. His friends, peers and associates know his integrity, justice and honesty as a part of his being.
Paul was active in professional and community service, evidenced through his membership and participation in many organizations including the Board of Directors of Warren General Hospital, Chairman of the Finance Committee for St. Stephen Church, Chairman, St. Stephen Values and Visions Campaign (Youngstown Diocese High School Endowment Fund Drive), Chairman, Trumbull County Bar Association Computer Committee, Trumbull County Bar Association Grievance Committee, Treasurer Trumbull County Democratic Party, Trumbull County Precinct Committeeman and Former Executive Committee Member. He was also a past Commodore of the John Carroll University Sailing Club and member of MENSA.
Paul was particularly proud of his success securing for local veterans the Samuel E. Lanza Veterans Resource Center and receipt of the Regional Chamber of Commerce Chairman's Political Achievement Award given to the members of the Trumbull County Board of Commissioners for outstanding political achievement in the previous year.
Paul is survived by his wife, Rosemary (Drake) Heltzel whom he married on November 23, 1984; his sons, Ryan (Anya) of Seattle, Washington, Michael (Marisa) of Newport, Rhode Island, Robert (Fiancée, Erika Niemi) of New Haven, Connecticut, Paul of Venice, California; his siblings, Robert E.
