Larry Paul was raised in Hemphill, where he graduated high school. During his younger years, he developed a love of fast cars and spent many hours working on and even racing them. His brother, Roy Glynn and his friends would certainly attest to his fast driving and occasional "scare" while riding with him. Soon after graduation, Larry proudly served his country in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam war period. During this time, he was decorated with many honors, including multiple citations, bars, and badges, as well as 4 bronze stars.
Following his service to our country, he returned to East Texas and worked at Nibco and Lone Star. He was a hard-working man who humbly provided for his family. He also loved fishing, and later, developed an enjoyment of hunting.

In 1980, he was introduced to a sweet lady, Wanda Ferguson. The two quickly developed a strong bond and were married in 1981. The have spent the last 37 years making wonderful memories as they lived their life.

They have traveled to multiple locations, enjoying the time spent together, as well as with their children and grandchldren. "Pappaw", as the grands called him, was their biggest fan and he and "Memaw" supported them at all the sporting events they were a part of. Larry Paul also enjoyed mowing and working in the yard.

He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Larry was also an active member in the Knights of Columbus. His fun-loving demeanor and vibrant smile is something that will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
