Paul Charles Nutting II, 44 of East Syracuse, loving son, brother and friend passed away suddenly on Tuesday of a heart attack.  He was born in Syracuse and graduated from East Syracuse-Minoa High School in 1992.  "Paulie" worked as a self-employed carpenter for over 25 years.  Paulie loved his family and friends.  

He would often spend his days with his mom, fixing the homes of both his brothers and visiting with the Wayno family.   His passions were wood working, love of animals, United States History (with a strong Republican sided view), military training, target shooting and watching reruns of his favorite tv shows such as Alf, The A-Team and old westerns staring John Wayne.  One of his proudest moments was purchasing a small piece of property in North Carolina and building a home with his good friend.  

Paulie is survived by his mother, Pamela Taylor Nutting of East Syracuse; father Paul (Jan) Nutting of Norwich; two brothers, Christopher (Jennifer) Nutting of Phoenix, NY and Matthew (Stacey) Nutting of East Syracuse; niece Averie, numerous uncles, aunts and cousins; and his close friends Joe and Brenda Wayno who became his second family.  

Calling hours will be Sunday, February 3, from 1 to 4pm at the R.H. Schepp & Son Minoa Chapel, 6530 Schepps Corners Road, Minoa.
