Paul A. McCulloh joined his wife, Nancy, on the eternal journey on April 15th, 2025. As a member of a Great Depression family and the 40's/50's Hi-Y, Boy Scouts, Demolay, 4H, 77A, church group generation, he had a wonderful youth. He learned to harness, hitch, and drive a team of horses before he drove a machine. He went to school in Yakima, Zillah, and Grandview; attended USC, Central Washington, and U. Dusk, Michigan State, and finished at Oxford, England. He lived on Bainbridge Island for four years before going overseas to the DOD schools in 1960 to Kaiserslautern, Germany. There he met Nancy J. Green and they were married in the USAF chapel in Ramstein in 1961. They had 54 magical years together while raising their son, Jeffery E. McCulloh, who was born in Germany. They toured Europe together for five years and moved to England in 1965. They lived in London for a year and then next to Newmarket, where they settled down for 27 years at their home just on the other side of a fence from Tattersalls. Over all those years, they had many adventures and experiences, which thrilled them and filled their lives with adventure. An audience with the Pope, meeting many others just as exciting, seeing their son graduate from Trinity Hall in Cambridge University being just a few. They retired and returned home in 1992 where they built a small "house on the hill" in Wenatchee. They had a quiet time in Wenatchee where they attended St. Lukes, joined NARFE, and watched their grandkids grow up in Maine. Paul was the last of his generation in his family, outliving all his aunts (3), uncles (3), brothers (4) and first cousins (11) who lived in the state of Washington. It was a pioneer family in the Yakima Valley. He is survived by his son Jeff, daughter in law Heather, and grandkids Gordon and Charlotte of Kennebunk, Maine.
