Paul Florence Obituary

February 1918 ~ October 2008

Paul Billington Florence was a loving husband and friend to Roberta Mae; proud dad of Joan Marie and Carol Mae; and mentor and friend to Fred VanDyke and Michael Cripe.

Paul was an internee in World War II at Los Baños in the Philippine Islands. He was a graduate of De La Salle University, an athlete, scholar, entrepreneur, exporter and world traveler, avid sports fan and faithful Catholic.

He was a caring and good friend and loved pets, kids and desserts. He had kind eyes, a warm smile and a jovial laugh. He was a tough brave heart, who left his heart in San Francisco.

Everlasting love ... Aloha.
