Paul Moss, 90

Paul Moss, who got a job in his late 20s at the Control Corporation, a company that made custom precision parts, and worked his way up to become president, died of congestive heart failure at his Accabonac Road home in East Hampton on Nov. 9. He was 90 and had been ill for six months. 

Born on Feb. 25, 1928, in Brooklyn to the former Hannah Seidman and Aaron Moskowitz, he spent his formative years in the borough and attended Midwood High School. In 1946, he joined the Navy and served in Puerto Rico and Cuba. He subsequently graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  

Mr. Moss and his wife, the former Abigail Wender, to whom he was married in 1956, lived in Hewlett for 50 years. After renting a series of summer houses in East Hampton, they bought a house here in the late ’70s. After her death, in 2011, and his retirement, he moved here full time, remaining active by playing tennis, doing woodworking, and making stained glass. 

He is survived by two sons, Adam Moss of New York City and Daniel Moss of Boston, and by his partner, Joan Baum of East Hampton. Two grandchildren also survive.
