Life

Krinsky entered the United States Merchant Marine Academy (a U.S. service academy founded in 1943) in 1946. He graduated with honors in 1950 and became an ensign. He sailed in the United States Merchant Marines as a deck officer for United States Lines aboard the passenger ships SS "America" and SS "United States". In 1955, Krinsky went on active duty with the United States Navy, serving as navigator aboard the USS "Everglades" (AD-24). Leaving active duty in 1958, he remained in the United States Naval Reserve and retired as a captain. Krinsky also served as a naval science instructor at the New York State Maritime College.

In 1958, Krinsky joined the faculty of the Merchant Marine Academy, teaching a wide range of navigation and seamanship courses in the Department of Nautical Sciences. Over the years, Krinsky held many important posts at the academy, including Director of Admissions, Academic Dean, and Deputy Superintendent. In 1987, Krinsky was appointed superintendent of the Merchant Marine Academy and was made a rear admiral. In 1989, the Academy Alumni Association, at Krinsky's request, agreed to sponsor a Parents' Association for the academy.

Paul was married to Audrey Krinsky and had two children, Ross and David. He has five grandchildren: Peter, Nathan, Daniel, Aylssa, and Lucy.
