Paul's obituary
Paul was born on August 4, 1930 in Redlands, California. He graduated from Redlands High School in 1948. He later joined the Navy, and after serving 4 years he went to work for his brother’s Foster Meat Packing Company. At that time, he met his first wife, Shirley (Muse) Foster. He went on to work at Lockheed for 23 years as an experimental machinist. In 1979, he moved his family to Washington state to work for Boeing. After a few years at Boeing, he began working at the Bremerton Naval Shipyard as a numerical machinist and retired in 1997. He then moved back to California where he met his second wife Jacque.
Paul is survived by his ex-wife Shirley Foster of Ridgecrest, California, and their four daughters, Michelle Janine Armenta (estranged); Kellie Marlene Hanna, of Lakewood, Washington; Paulette Suzanne Colvert (David A.) of Inyokern, California, and Katina Lynn Landen (Eric B.) of Kent, Washington; 5 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren; as well as family and friends. He is preceded in death by his grandson Ryan Kenneth Colvert, October 30, 2005; great-grandson Lyrik James Kirwin-Hanson, May 7, 2015 ; and his wife Willa (Jacque) Foster, May 3, 2020.
Before he became ill, Paul was very active in his local church, Inyokern Baptist Church. He also loved driving and took many cross country trips. He enjoyed the challenge of working on cars and trucks, as well as a lifelong love of riding motorcycles.
