WALTHALL
Paul Trimble Walthall, 87, lifelong resident of San Antonio, passed away November 12, 2011. He was born on February 8th to Wilson Jones Walthall and Nina Trimble Walthall. Paul graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1941 and served in the U.S. Army during WWII. He graduated from Trinity University in 1948 with a BS in Business Administration. Paul continued his education at the University of Texas at Austin where he earned his Masters of Business Administration degree in 1954. He then obtained his CPA license. He spent his 41year career teaching accounting at Trinity University while also having a CPA practice on the side. His achievements at Trinity included heading the Bengal Lancers men's association, being elected Professor of the Year, and serving as acting dean of the Business Administration Department for three years. Paul was a lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church. His generous spirit and emphasis on community involvement led him to serve on several non-profit boards including Community Guidance Center, Visiting Nurses Association, Texas Military Institute, and National Alumni Board at Trinity University. For over 50 years he was an active member of a local stock investing association, The Peso Club. In the past few years he also provided homemade desserts to patients at the nearby Aids Hospital. Throughout his adult life, Paul loved to cook for and entertain his family and friends, and they loved and admired his generous spirit and kind heart. He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilson Jones Walthall and Nina Trimble Walthall; infant son, Paul T. Walthall, Jr.; wife, Doris Leary Walthall; sister, Marjorie T. Walthall and brother, Wilson J. Walthall. Paul is survived by his children, Anne Wright and husband, Robert, Kathleen Fry and husband, Roger and son, Paul L.

Paul was a kind and considerate man. He made his home available to friends and I felt like family. That was always his goal: to help you feel comfortable and and part of the family. RIP Paul.

Paul was an exceptional man who I am sure will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I remember him most vividly from the time I was in San Antonio 12 years ago. I was delighted to see him again on my return to San Antonio last year. My partner Jerry Wright and I are both saddened by his passing.
