Paul Smoley Obituary
Paul Smoley passed away peacefully at home, with his wife, Sandy, and sister, Vanita, at his side, on Monday, Jan. 20, 2014. Born to Paul and Vanita Smoley, he spent his early years in West Sacramento. He attended Jefferson High School, was a champion tennis player, and after graduation joined the Air National Guard working as a firefighter. Once home, he married and they raised three wonderful children, Wendy, Ron, and Paula.
In 1972 they moved to Fort Bragg. He worked locally as a tire guy for Eastman's before becoming a diesel mechanic and worked for Georgia Pacific and Philbrick Logging. He later drove truck for Bayer and Costa in Eureka, Calif. In 1985, he became the proud owner of the Laurel Deli in Fort Bragg. He wasn't an all work and no play type of guy, to say the least.
He enjoyed the ocean, spending many a day fishing and diving for abalone. He also liked a good party, especially those Fourth of July bashes. He looked forward to the local Labor Day Destruction Derby and participated in each and every one. He was most at peace when riding his Harley. He became a member of the motorcycle group, "The Humboldt County Fog Dogs." But nothing could top the great time he had going to Sturgis in 2005.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Vanita Smoley; and his great friend and brother-in-law, Bob Viralakas. He is survived by his wife, Sandy Smoley; daughters, Wendy Swales and Paula Smoley; son, Ron Smoley; grandchildren, Tony Smoley, Shevelle Perkins, Delina Brown; great-grandchildren, Brooke Mayberry and Edward Brown; siblings, Vanita Viralakis and her children, Jen Daburt and Andy Viralakis.
Paul was a kind man, good provider, loving father, brother and husband. Ride free! R.I.P. Paul
