OLDFIELD, Paul F. Of Plymouth died peacefully at home on June 11th. He was the beloved husband of Susan L. (Nuckols) Oldfield. Born in Weymouth, Massachusetts on February 18, 1947, Paul was the son of the late Joseph and Mary (Hines) Oldfield. He grew up in Cohasset and graduated from Thayer Academy and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, Class of 1969. He served with the U.S. Army National Guard during Vietnam. He is the brother of Peter Oldfield of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and Jeffrey Oldfield of Portland, Maine. An accomplished golfer and hockey player in high school and college, Paul lettered in both sports in college. He played on the victorious Harvard team in the 1969 Beanpot Tournament. In that same year, he was the Massachusetts Amateur Golfer of the Year. While at Harvard, Paul was a member of Kirkland House, the Hasty Pudding, the Combined Charities, and the Pi Eta Club. Paul was a longtime member of Plymouth Country Club and was a former member of Cohasset Country Club and Wannamoisett Country Club. He was a member of the New England Senior Golf Association and a former member of the Massachusetts Golf Association Executive Committee. Paul began his 40 year career in the Trust and Investment Services business at Industrial National Bank in Rhode Island. He returned to Boston as a portfolio manager with Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company. In 1983, Paul assisted in establishing a successful Cape Cod presence in Falmouth for State Street Bank and Trust Company's Trust Division. During Paul's 25 year tenure with State Street, he served in a number of roles beginning as a portfolio manager and retiring as the Chief Investment Officer for the Trust Division in Boston. During his years at State Street, Paul was known by clients and colleagues for his prudent investment advice and singular sense of humor, which are greatly missed. A celebration of Paul's life will be held on Tuesday, June 26th at noon at Christ Church Parish, 149 Court Street, Plymouth. A private burial will be held at a later date at Woodside Cemetery in Cohasset.
