Paul Avery\u2019s friend, Joe Phalon, who works at the paper Avery founded, told WFMZ: \u201cI always like to call Paul the most interesting man in the world, because he was when you consider everything he\u2019s done in his life. Acting, skydiving, Vietnam veteran, started a newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHis death is going to leave a real void in this community. Not just Blairstown, but the towns around as well,\u201d he added. \u201cI think we\u2019ll really miss him, and I think it\u2019s going to become more apparent over time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beloved actor known for his role on \u201cAll My Children\u201d was killed along with his wife in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[201825,49,48,361,5782,12375,75,11922,48357,8832,5769,886],"class_list":["post-746247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-all-my-children","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-deaths","tag-deaths","tag-entertainment","tag-fires","tag-freak-accidents","tag-new-jersey","tag-superman","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
