Robert Earl Paul died September 13, 2021 at the age of 84 at his home in Tulsa, OK. He was born on September 1, 1937 in Houston, TX to William Earl Paul and Edna Blackmon Paul.
Robert was raised in Bay Minette, AL where he grew up hunting, fishing, playing baseball, and being ornery. After school he joined the United States Army and served in the Signal Corps. He was a member of the American Legion. He was a big fan of Alabama Crimson Tide football. As he would say, ROLL TIDE! Robert was a loving, caring, and generous man that would give anything to anyone in need. He had a huge heart and loved his family deeply. He had the best laugh and loved to pick fun.
In addition to his parents, Robert was preceded in death by his siblings, Mac Houston Paul and Edna Earl Johnson; and his son, Robert Earl "Buddy" Paul, Jr.
Robert was survived by his wife of 15 years, Arleta Richey Paul; and his children Brian Keith Paul and fiancee Michelle, Patrick Jay Luey, Jr. and wife Shay, Timothy Lance Shook, and Bobbi Lynn Woodman.
