Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bell Mortuary & Crematory - Royster on Nov. 30, 2021.

Paul A. Linton, Jr. 78, Greenfield, IN passed away November 21, 2021, in Greenfield, IN. Paul was born on January 20, 1943.
Survivors include son, Paul (Carla) Linton; daughter Tracy (Eric) Jaques; stepdaughter Jennifer (Matt) Johnson; sisters Barbara Linton and Mary Linton, grandchildren Cassie (Brady) Conger, Dustin Linton, Dakota Linton, Macie Linton, Kensie Linton, Austin Linton, Jarrett Jaques, Jaden Jaques, Joshua Jaques, Jace Jaques, Kristen Johnson and Amanda Johnson; and five great-grandchildren.

Paul was a United States Air Force veteran serving his country from 1960-1964. He was commended for his performance in Swift Strike III, the largest peace time exercise in the history of the nation in 1963. Paul was also a member of the UAW, American Legion and Moose Lodge #17. Paul retired after 30 years with General Motors at the Chevy Truck & Bus plant in Indianapolis, IN. Paul was very proud of his workshop and spent many of his retirement years fixing cars, lawn mowers, or whatever you needed fixed. He also liked traveling, especially to the Western United States. He enjoyed his many animals and loved talking to people – he never met a stranger! Most of all, Paul loved spending time with his family.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Paul. I have been his dental hygienist for at least 15yrs, if not more. I always looked forward to seeing him when I saw his name on the schedule for the day. He was always so kind and wonderful to talk to. He always spoke highly of his family and would update me on what his kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren were doing! I will miss him and I am praying for his family and friends.
