Paolo G Ballister

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paolo G. Ballister, affectionately known as "Champ," who left us on Monday, February 24, 2025, after a courageous battle with Cancer. He was 40 years old. Born in Langhorne, PA and was a longtime resident of Levittown.

Champ spent many years in the banquet hospitality industry, making countless memories and connections. His vibrant personality made every occasion brighter, and he was dedicated to providing guests with unforgettable experiences.

Beyond his work, Champ was a passionate gamer, achieving the esteemed Rank 1 Gladiator in his favorite game, World of Warcraft.
