Obituary
Paul Nelson Hodges
September 9, 1942 – December
25, 2021
Paul was dearly liked
by all who knew him. He was of service to many with 51 years in AA, active in
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and therefore anyone needing
help.
He grew up in the
northern mountains of Bear Lake Utah through generations of ranching and as a
young boy provided deer and fish to his family after his father was shot after
coming home from World War II. A Medic in the Air Force, he was an excellent
tool & Die Maker and an astute businessman. He enjoyed nature, all outdoor
sports, knew all about guns and was a respected Scout Master. Paul was diligent
in his spiritual practices.
Dying on Christmas
day, he was preceded in death by his parents Delilah and Paul Hodges Sr., and
his brother Bruce. He leaves behind two daughters, two sisters, two
grandchildren, two nephews, one Sister-in-Law, his loyal cat Kitty and his
beloved wife Lonni who wrote this.
