Herbert Paul Prawius
Herbert Paul Prawius, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, peacefully went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 in Roxbury, Connecticut.
Born January 23, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois, he was the son of German immigrant parents, who came to the United States through Ellis Island. After graduating with a degree in engineering from North Central College in 1959, he married the love of his life, Ione Vetter. A few years later, they settled in Connecticut and had two children, Herbert Dale and Paula Lee.
Herbert was a remarkably gifted in sales and worked for International Harvester in New York City and then for Hine Brothers in Southbury, CT for 25 years.
Herbert was well-known throughout Connecticut, where he sold commercial trucks to companies, cities, and towns. His honest, outgoing, and engaging style will be what his customers and colleagues remember.
His faith in Jesus Christ was important to him and he was an active member at Christ the Shepherd Presbyterian Church in Danbury, Connecticut.
Besides his work in sales, he enjoyed working outdoors, reading history, and participating in WWII reenactments.
Herbert is survived by his wife, son, daughter, 7 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.
His family and friends will miss him dearly.
The memorial service will be on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 11am at Christ the Shepherd Presbyterian Church, 52 Stadley Rough Road, Danbury, CT 06811.
