Following his discharge from the Navy, he was service representative with the Allis Chalmers Co. for a time before joining the Carroll Implement in LuVerne where he was a mechanic. Paul was not married.
While checking his trap line about 8 a.m. Sunday. Jim Terwilliger of Livermore found Willey lying on the ice of the East Des Moines River near Livermore. Paul was taken to
Veterans Hospital in Des Moines where he died Thursday
morning.
Authorities determined that Willey had been snowmobiling the night before and while towing his machine on a trailer behind his father's jeep, apparently lost control on an icy curve and struck the railroad bridge on the county blacktop northeast of town. Willey was thrown onto the ice where he lay for about five or six hours in below zero temperatures before he was found.
He is survived by his parents, Harold and Evelyn Willey who live at Livermore; three brothers and a sister; Douglas and John, both of Fort Dodge; Richard, Livermore and Joyce, Mrs. Virgil Young, Houston, Texas. Two grandmothers, Mrs. Printhea Quick and Mrs. Belle Willey, both of Fort Dodge, also survive.
Paul was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church, American Legion, various Citizens Ban Radio Clubs of Iowa and was Charter member and Charter President of the Livermore Jaycees. He was also an avid bowler. Friends may call at the funeral home until 11:30 a.m. Monday, and then at the church.
