Mr & Mrs. Hayes were always warm & lovely to me, and a bit sassy. They were an important part of my growing up, as was my friendship with Jackie. Love to all the kids. 

Cathy Palmer 

 Mr and Mrs Hayes were wonderful people. I worked briefly at their printing company as a teen and am good friends with daughter Jackie. My deepest condolences to the family. 

Lori Lentz 

 Janet was my aunt ( Dad's sister) Very sweet lady 

Deanna Bergman 

I met Mrs. Hayes one afternoon I went over to Jackie’s house. I thought she was such a cool mom! Kind sympathies to the family on your loss! 

Linda Everett 

Janet Hayes was a beautiful lady and she and John were friends with my Mom and Dad, Pete and Kiva Peterson. She had the most lovely smile and a great personality. 

Linda Silvius 

Janet Hayes was one of a kind! Listening to the tape of the service, I wasn’t at all surprised to learn she was at every sports event of every grandchild, early and in appropriate, bright colors! Nor was I surprised to learn she danced right along with everyone else in the family on a party bus in Paris! Hearing the memories of her grandchildren was precious. I first met Mr. and Mrs. Hayes as a friend of Jackie’s from Y Camp. I remember many a meal shared around their dinner table with all 4 kids present and Grace said before every meal. The memory that surfaces most from that time for me was her laughter and her dancing eyes as she laughed with us. She and John hired me to work in their print shop and I loved that time. I learned SO much from both of them, about printing and more importantly about life - things I literally used during my whole career. I am very grateful for her influence on my life. She was truly one of those significant adult role models that stepped into my life and made a lifelong positive difference. Thank you Janet Hayes - what a joy it was to know you!

William "Bill" Paul, BHS '54, passed away at home on Friday evening, July 22nd, while his wife read Bible scripture aloud, with other family members with them. He was 86. Bill had been diagnosed last December with an aggressive form of multiple myeloma cancer. He had done well with treatment for many months until about two weeks before his passing when the disease became much worse.

 

Bill was the oldest of three in the Paul family, with Gary (BHS '57), and Jeff (BHS '64 - deceased in 2019), his younger brothers. On September 22, 1956 Bill married Lois Becken (BHS '55) at the First Baptist Church of Burbank which was across the street from Burbank High. They were exactly two months away from their 66th wedding anniversary when Bill passed away. Bill and Lois have three children, Ken Paul (BHS '76), Julie Paul Letts (BHS '79), and Darren Paul (BHS '82). They also have 7 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

 

In 1964 Bill and Lois moved to 737 Uclan Dr. in Burbank, where they raised their family, and where they lived for the next 40 years until they moved to a new home in Santa Clarita at the end of 2004, which is where they continued to live, and where Bill passed away. Bill worked in the printing industry with Church Press in Glendale for many years. He and Lois were always active and involved with their church, First Baptist of Burbank, MacArthur Memorial Bible Church/Calvary Bible Church of Burbank for 45+ years, and Grace Baptist Church in Santa Clarita since 2005. Bill and Lois loved to travel, and had taken many extensive trips over the years, all over the world, probably to 45 or 50 countries by the end of their travels a few years ago. Bill also loved to golf, both before and after retirement. Throughout Bill's life he could always be described as a Fine Christian Gentleman. 

 

Because of Bill's faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ his family has the assurance that the moment he left this life he was instantly in Heaven with his Savior, for all of eternity.

 

Bill Paul is survived by his wife, Lois Paul; son Ken Paul; daughter Julie Letts; son Darren Paul; granddaughter Kelsea Alcantar; grandsons Ryan, Zach, and Taylor Letts; grandsons Nathan and Matthew Paul; granddaughter Jackie Paul Spargifiore; son-in-law Mark Letts; daughter-in-law Mila Paul; great-granddaughters Averrie and Kendall; great-grandson Wyatt; brother Gary Paul; brother-in-law Don Becken (BHS '59); and many nephews and nieces and their families.
