 Paul
Kenneth Karr peacefully passed away on
Wednesday, September 7, 2016, at Boundary
Community Hospital. Services will be held at 11
a.m. Friday, September 16, at the Bonners Ferry
Funeral Home.
There will be a gathering at the Rusty Moose
after the service for friends and family who
would like to share stories and remember Paul.
Paul was born May 28, 1944, at St. Joseph’s
Hospital in Houston, Texas to Eugene B. and Olga
M. Karr. At three months of age, the family
moved from Houston to Rockville, Nebraska. There
they lived with Grandpa and Grandma Sullivan
while his father was in the army during World
War II.
Paul spent his childhood in Rockville working at
the family business and building his love of
cars. He graduated from Rockville High in 1962.
That fall he went to work with the Bureau of
Reclamation in Fontanelle, Wyoming. That is
where he met the love of his life, Jeannie
Robbins. They were married on February 15, 1965.
Paul and Jeannie had two children and lived in
many different places before settling in Bonners
Ferry in 1972. Paul enjoyed being in the woods
and working with many people in the community,
building things out of wood and classic cars.
He had a quick wit, a big heart and an opinion
on everything!
Paul is survived by children Gary Karr, Coeur
d’Alene, and Jennifer English, Bonners Ferry,
grandchildren Jessica Karr, Christopher English
and Kelsey English, brother Dave Karr and wife
Cheri and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents and
his beloved wife Jeannie. |
