Paul Devon Henriott, Aug. 26, 1925 - Aug. 16, 2016, Paul Devon Henriott, CWO2 U.S. Army, Retired, 90, Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 5:39 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016, at his residence. On Aug. 26, 1925, Paul was born in Louisville, Ky. He was a treasured son of John and Edna Tabler Henriott. Growing up, he shared his childhood with a brother, Jim, and a sister, Catherine.
With an early departure from high school, he left to serve his country during World War II. Paul's initial stint was with the U.S. Navy for just over seven years from Jan. 5, 1943-Feb. 28, 1950. He continued on for 13 years with the U.S. Army from March 1, 1950-Feb. 28, 1963.
Understanding the importance of a high school education, Paul earned his diploma from Rochester High School in 2003. He retired from Eaton Corporation after several years with the company.
In Frankfort, Germany, Paul married the love of his life, Gertrud Elsa Seifer, on May 6, 1955. They shared 61 years of life's adventures. Paul and Gertrud moved their children, Curt, Desiree, Romy, and Bernadette, to Rochester from Fort Sill in Lawton, Okla., in 1964. Since that time, the family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of two more generations.
Paul was a life member of the VFW Post No. 15015. He is also a member of the local Manitou Post No. 1343. An avid self-taught computer buff, Paul embraced technology, especially computers. He was inspired and intrigued by the information superhighway, the World Wide Web, as he researched and discovered genealogy while searching generations back for members in his family tree.
Left to cherish Paul's memory are his wife Gertrud; a son, Curt Henriott and wife March, Rochester; three daughters, Desiree Small and husband Morris Jr., Logansport, Romy Shortz and companion Paul Bikowski, South Bend, and Bernadette Henriott and husband Edward Regnier of Bourbonais, Ill.; four grandchildren, Amanda Henriott and companion Todd Eberlein, Indianapolis, Alicia Conner and husband Brandon, Rochester, Nicholas Small, Logansport, and Alaina Small and companion Eddie Holcomb, Rochester; three great-grandchildren, Ian Conner, Layknn Davidson, and Alexander Holcomb; a brother, James Henriott and wife Beatrice, Knox; nephew Wolfgang Seifert and wife Renate, Germany; and great-nephew and greatgreat- nephew Michael Seifert and son of Germany.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two grandsons; a sister, Catherine Horban; and two canine companions, Wolfie and Rusty, the Pomeranians.
A celebration of the life of Mr. Paul Devon Henriott will be at 11 a.m. EST on Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016, at St. John Lutheran Church, 404 Jefferson St., Rochester, with the Rev. Curtis May officiating. Friends may visit with the family from 4-7 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 19, 2016, at the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 W. 18th St., Rochester, and one hour prior to the service in the church. Military rites will be conducted by the Fulton County Veterans Honor Guard and the U.S. Army Honor Guard. Interment will be in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
