Paul W. Reynard was born in Denver, CO on May 8th, 1942. He was raised in Tooele, UT where he attended Central School, and Tooele High School. In high school he excelled in Track and Field, and held the State record in the 100 yard dash, 220 relay, 440 relay and 880 relay. He also played football, baseball and wrestled for Tooele High School. When he graduated high school he enlisted in the Marine Corps and served his country as an avionics electronic technician in the 24th MAW from 1960-1964. In 1961 he met Patricia A. Shea on a blind date while home on leave where he was rumored to have said “I am going to marry you” on that very date. He was shipped off to Okinawa, Japan where they continued to correspond by letter and tapes. They were married on October 23, 1964 and welcomed their 1st daughter Rachele in May of 65 and 2nd daughter Danielle in June of 68.

Paul worked for Tooele Army Depot from 1965-1973 and Sacramento Army Depot from 1973-1993 when he retired with over 30 years of service for the Department of Defense. He recently returned to work and has worked for Geico Insurance Company since moving to Kathleen, GA with his wife, Patricia in 1999. Paul served his county in every way he could, he served his family in every way he knew how. He will always be remembered for making family first, for giving to others before he ever gave to himself, for his odd and somewhat interesting laugh, his beautiful blue eyes, and for doing the best he could be every day of his life. We will miss you Dad, and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Semper Fi.
