Paul Graham Horner, 91, of Prince George, VA, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022 at his home, as he wished. Mr. Horner was born on Nov. 26, 1930, to the late Charles and Patty Sue (Wray) Horner, in Hopewell, VA. Paul served in the Navy, stationed in the Pacific, for 4 years. In 1959, he married Frances M. Harper. They were married for 48 years, separated only by her death in 2005.
Paul worked as a millwright/mechanic in several local plants including Allied & Firestone for many years. Before and during his "retirement", he loved to work on tractors, lawnmowers, etc. When something was broken or not running, often the saying was "Call Paul."
