Paul Seaton Furlong died on June 14. He was 66.
Mr. Furlong, the youngest of eight siblings, was born on March 7, 1956. He attended College of The Redwoods in Eureka where he studied TV production and started work at the local PBS affiliate. He did live camera work, sound and video editing, and live news production. For a short while, he even hosted a local talk show.
In 1981 he moved back to Los Angeles, his birthplace, and started his career as a Telecine colorist. His most well-known film credits include "Two Days in The Valley," "Crimson Tide," "Mighty Ducks," "A Goofy Movie" and "Tall Tale."
In 2009, he retired and moved to Watsonville. His biggest passion was family history and genealogy. He traced his family back to Ireland and helped many people find lost friends and relatives. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife Mary Furlong, children, Sean (Amy) and Taylor Furlong, and one granddaughter. He also leaves behind his siblings Cathy Stovall, Maggie Carter, Fred (Mary) Furlong, Mike (Flora) Furlong, Barbara (Conrad) Miranda, Joanne (Tim) Morrison and Helen (Jerry) Franklin.
Mehl's Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
