Gary Paul

Gary Paul, age 75, of Union Mills, passed away Saturday, February 7, 2026 at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

Gary was born Wednesday, April 12, 1950. He was a proud graduate of Augusta Military Academy in Ft. Defiance, Virginia. Later, Gary would work in the banking industry as a commercial loan officer for most of his life before retiring. He was of the Catholic Faith. Gary enjoyed many things in life such as going to the beach, fishing, watching movies with his family on his home theater, celebrating Christmas and was an avid Buffalo Bills fan. One of his greatest joys was being accepted by his late wife’s family as they treated like one of their own.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of fifty-two years, Marsha Grapes Paul and a twin brother, Greg Paul.

Those left to honor his memory include his son, Christopher Paul of Brunswick, Maryland and daughter, Beth Weber (Ron) of Crested Butte, Colorado; brother, Kenny Paul and his beloved grandchildren, Denali Weber and Coral Weber.

Gary’s urn will be placed next to his wife’s urn at the Columbarium at Elmlawn Memorial Park in Kenmore, New York. The family is planning a celebration of Gary’s life on a future date.

In honor of Gary’s love for animals and in lieu of flowers, memorial donations are requested to Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue, 380 US Highway 221, Rutherfordton, NC 28139.
