“Paul Edward Highberg (1935-2023) was born on July 1, 1935, in Hartford, Connecticut, the son of George and Mildred (Peterson) Highberg. Paul was a man of remarkable accomplishments and unwavering passions. He leaves behind a legacy of intellect, curiosity, and a dedication to making a difference.


Paul's journey through life was marked by a commitment to knowledge and a thirst for innovation. He earned his bachelor of science degree from Princeton University and furthered his academic pursuit with a master's degree from Stanford University, both in the field of engineering. His dedication to his work led him to a fulfilling career in engineering, which he pursued diligently until his retirement.


On June 12, 1960, Paul married Patricia (Patsy) Hume Highberg, in San Francisco, California. In the early 1970s, Paul and Patsy made the pivotal decision to relocate from Niantic, Connecticut, to Woodstock. They embarked on the journey of building their own home on Randall Road, a sanctuary that became the canvas for an award-winning garden, a testament to Patsy's green thumb and their devotion to their New England surroundings.


Paul's life was a tapestry woven with diverse interests and passions. He had a profound love for technology, often found in his office surrounded by an array of computers and gadgets, tirelessly designing innovative programs. He shared his vision for a small personal computer during his time at Vermont Research, even though the company doubted its success and said it would never sell, a true testament to his foresight.


In his retirement years, Paul embraced new horizons, traveling to many locations with Patsy and discovering a passion for art. He was an advocate for both local and national politics, engaged in town matters, and remained an avid reader throughout his life.”
