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.
