Loren Howard Paul, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on September 15, 2026. Born on November 6, 1929, in Meriden, Connecticut, Loren was the son of Howard and Hilda (née Schultz) Paul.
A proud U.S. Army veteran, Loren served during the Korean War and was honored with an Ambassadors for Peace medal from the Minister of the Republic of Korea for his service. Loren had a lifelong passion for clocks and was cherished by many for his skill in repairing them. His professional career included a role at Kaman Aerospace.
Loren is survived by his loving wife, Gretchen Paul; his son, Andrew Paul and wife Betsy of Myrtle Beach, SC; his daughters, Jennifer Picken and her husband Todd of Sebastian, Florida, and Sarah Paul of Glendale, CA; four grandchildren, Garett Picken and his wife Meghan, Alex Picken and his wife Corey, Loren G. Paul, and Jacob Paul; and a great-grandchild, Logan Picken. He was predeceased by his twin brother, Wayne, and his sisters, Marilyn Botteon and Doraine Gardinier.
In accordance with Loren's wishes, there will be no visitation. A burial with military honors will take place at a future date to be determined.
Loren will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
