Paul Beno

PAUL MICHAEL BENO was born November 10, 1957 and fought a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer that ended on February 24, 2022.

Paul was the cherished husband of 35 years to Margaret Mulligan, devoted father to Emma Beno, dear son of Albert and Margaret (Mihalik) Beno (both deceased), beloved brother of David (deceased), John (deceased) and Dr. M. Elaine Krosse (Matthew), and wonderful uncle to Sarah Krosse and Theresa Krosse.

Paul worked for the cities of Indianapolis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, and Euclid as a city planner, zoning administrator and director. He attended Miami of Ohio (undergrad) and The Ohio State University (grad school). He was a graduate of Oberlin High School. He loved the outdoors, and loved to teach young people about the environment and the joys of Mother Nature.
