Paul Bennett Oncley (1911-2011)

Introduction

Paul was my grandfather, who died a few months after celebrating his 100th birthday. Until the time of his death, he was mentally active. He told his Doctor "I'm through", stopped eating, and died 4 days later. (He had several physical ailments that slowed him down, starting with knee replacement surgery when he was in his 70s that failed when he was in his 80s.)

His obituary.
His memoirs of his first 100 years. This project kept him occupied (on his Mac) during his 99th year. He only was able to complete Volume One -- the first 50 years. I hope to update this page with his family's memoirs of his second 50 years.
