Preceded in death by the love of his life, Geri (2007). Loving father to Karen Harper (William), Mark (Heather), and Michael (Elizabeth). Proud grandfather to Nicholas, Jackson, Reid and Alex.
Paul was above all, a man of strong faith. To him, his kids and grandkids meant everything. He was a very active member of St. Colette Church. Since childhood, Paul had a love of trains, big and small. His HO model train layout was his pride and joy, and he loved sharing it. Breakfasts with friends, and dinners with family were favorite times for Paul. (But don’t ever try to pick up the tab)
Paul was retired from IBM after 30 years. He was a Division 6 member of the National Model Railroad Association and the local train club.
He is survived by an extended family and many friends. He was taken from us far too soon. We are devastated and will miss him dearly. But he is now in Heaven with his beloved wife.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Paul's memory may be made to Arbor Hospice in Ann Arbor, MI for the care they gave to his wife and the continued support they gave to Paul after her passing.
