1969 - 2010

Paul E. Winningham passed away peacefully in his sleep on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010.

More recently, he was a youth coach both in Anchorage, AK, and Corvallis, OR, in the sports of basketball, baseball and football. He had a zest for life, a contagious laugh and a fabulous sense of humor. He dearly loved his wife and family, and was a friend to all.

Paul is survived by his wife, Paula; daughter, Natalie; son, Wesley; his mother, Jerry Carolyn; brother, Robert; and sisters, Tammy, Paula and Kelly. He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald L. Winningham.
