Paulus Alexander Vos, 67, of Seneca, SC, passed away on
Wednesday, April 19, 2023, after a courageous nine-year battle with prostate cancer.
Paulus (Paul) was born 27 January 1956, in Valkenswaard, The Netherlands, to the late Joseph Vos and Maria Lubbers and grew up in Waalre, The Netherlands. He moved to the United States to play basketball (he was 7 ft. tall!) and study mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University. He met his wife of 40 years, Mary, at the San Francisco Airport, and they later wed in the Netherlands. Paul worked in South Africa and across the United States as a mechanical and quality engineer. He was a lover of his 1972 Citroen DS “Snookie” and drop (Dutch black licorice). He repaired his first engine at the age of six and you could find him most weekends repairing a car. Paul is survived by his wife, Mary Shannon-Vos, his children Seychelle (Lucas Farnung), Sebastian (Michiel Veling), and Saskia (Alexander Taujours), and his beloved cat, Sam. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Zero Prostate Cancer and the Hope House in Nashville, Tennessee.
