Paul Crandall passed peacefully July 18, 2023. Paul was born March 17, 1933 in Orem to Carson and Joy Newman Crandall. Paul grew up in the orchards owned by his family where his mischievous nature and love of adventure yielded many stories. He served in the Army shortly after the Korean War. When he returned home and met the love of his life, Elaine. The two married and Paul took on the role of father to her three children. He and Elaine had a daughter and completed the family. Paul worked as a sales representative for Salt Lake Hardware his entire career. He loved woodworking and made many items for family members through the years. He cheered on (and occasionally yelled at) the Braves, Utes, and Jazz with a passion, and never missed a chance to watch a game. He loved to travel in his RV, and enjoyed any time he was able to spend with Elaine. He allowed his sweetheart just 22 hours before joining her in heaven the day after her passing.
