Paul Louis Laux, 82, of Jefferson City, passed away Saturday, 2021, at Jefferson City Manor, after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

He was born June 15, 1938, in Jefferson City, the son of the late Victor Henry and Celeste Josephine (Hentges) Laux.

He was a 1956 graduate of Helias High School.

Paul served in the United States Army and served eight years in the National Guard, receiving the “Outstanding Achievement Award” in 1961.

He was united in marriage on August 25, 1962, in Westphalia to Frances Marie Boessen who survives at the home.
