Paul B. Loran, 72, currently of Memphis NY, went home to his Savior Jesus Christ on Sept. 8, 2022, at home, surrounded by his devoted family.

Paul was the eighth of nine children born to Osgood and Irene (Hall) Loranof Yorkville, NY. Along with his parents, Paul was predeceased by his brother Rich.

He is survived by his loving wife Patricia (Lippert) Loran, adoring sons Randy (Nadene), Scott (Faith), and Jason (Alíce), four granddaughters and two great-grandsons. Also survived by his brothers Bob (Marie), Roger (Joanne), and Ken, and sisters Patricia (Stan) Yerger, Sylvia Tryon, Judy Caporale, and Dorothy Loran and many nieces, nephews, and extended family. Paul will also be missed by his loyal Pomeranian, Twinkie.

Paul graduated from New York Mills HS, class of 1968. He was a veteran of the US Army, Signal Corps, serving in Germany during the Vietnam Era. He enjoyed his 40-year career as a Mainline Technician in the Syracuse area Cable TV industry, retiring reluctantly in 2020 from Spectrum Cable after his diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma.

Paul had a passion for singing. He was humbled and grateful that God allowed him to have 30 years of ministering through music. His love for Jesus shone through in every song he sang. He passed his love of singing down to his sons and granddaughters, always encouraging them. Paul had a knack for finding a song for every situation, often breaking into song in the middle of a conversation, so much so that he was gifted a T-shirt that said “I don’t ALWAYS sing….Oh, wait, yes I do!”His favorite times were Game Days and Karaoke Nights with the whole family.

Paul loved his Lord and his family fiercely, was a dedicated husband and best friend to his wife and would go to any length to support and provide for his sons. He was quick with a warm smile and hug with both family and friends. In his final years, Paul managed his illness with strength and grace, never losing his joy or trust in his Lord. He had a happy spirit and was loved and respected by all who knew him.

Please join the family as we honor him.  Calling Hours will be Sunday, Sept 11 from 1:00-4:00 at First Baptist Church, 1960 W. Genesee Tpk. Elbridge. Home Going Service Monday Sept.12 at 1:00pm at the Church with burial to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park, Warners.
