PAUL HENRY FATE SPRING HILL, FLA. - Paul Henry Fate, 93, passed away at home, with family by his side, on Oct. 1, 2015. His parents were Cora and Albert Fate of Akron. He was the youngest of six children. Paul grew up in Akron. He married Lois Brillhart and they had three children, Gary Fate, Gail Puccio and Judy (Craig) Micklow. Paul had four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lois; and son-in-law Robert Puccio. Paul was honored and proud to be staff sergeant and serve in the infantry in the European theatre from 1941 to 1945. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge under Gen. Patton, earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Some of the friendships he made lasted a lifetime. Paul and his family moved to Canfield, and he worked for the Buckeye Biscuit Company for 35 years. He loved people, playing bridge, and found great joy in his work. After the loss of his first wife, Paul married Dorothy Moulton, and moved to Spring Hill.

They were married five years when Dorothy passed away. In 2001, Paul married Kathryn Heard, and became a beloved member of the Spring Hill United Church of Christ, where he actively participated and gave so much of himself for many years. His smile, service, jokes, love, joy and the twinkle in his blue eyes, will be deeply missed
