Paul Joseph VanLoo
January 23, 1940 — January 6, 2021
Paul Joseph VanLoo, 80, of Wardsville, passed away Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at St. Mary’s Hospital.
He was born January 23, 1940, in Jefferson City, the son of the late Clem and Frances (Sommers) VanLoo.
Paul was a 1958 graduate of Fatima High School in Westphalia.
He served his country in the United States Army.
Following his honorably discharge from the Army, returned to Central Missouri and married Margaret “Margie” Theresa Linnenbrink on September 8, 1962, at St. George Catholic Church in Linn, Missouri.
Paul worked in sales for Rackers and Baclesse, Tharp Lumber and retired from Scruggs Lumber.
He was a member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Wardsville where he participated in the Perpetual Adoration Chapel. He also coached Little League Baseball.
Paul enjoyed woodworking especially making military plaques that he would donate to Honor Flight participants. He enjoyed his time working the farm, watching his cattle eat grass, and riding around the farm on his tractor. Paul was a St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals fan, Helias Basketball and Football fan, and loved watching his grandsons’ sporting events. Those who knew Paul, will know how strong of a Republican he was and how much he liked to talk politics with anyone who would listen. Paul was most proud of his two grandsons.
