Paul Wearly

Paul Eugene Wearly, 88, of Fort Thomas, Kentucky, formerly of West Liberty, Ohio, passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Paul was raised in West Liberty, a son of the late Reverend Robert and Ada Wearly. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jane Wearly in 1986, brothers, Robert, Wilbur, Max and sisters Esther, Ruth, Dorothy, and Crystal.

Paul proudly served in the United States Navy during World War II. His focus in life was his family. He was a hard worker, enjoyed following baseball, basketball and playing golf, especially with his brothers and, later in life, with his grandsons. He will live in our hearts forever.
