Paul was born December 10, 1928, in Johnstown, Pa., to the son of the late Georg Yewcic and Julia Butala Yewcic. He graduated from Conemaugh High School then attended the College of William & Mary 48í thru 52í in Williamsburg, Va. where he played football on scholarship and baseball.

Later he became the President of the Williamsburg Youth League, to direct its continued growth. After retiring, Paul volunteered his spare time at the Red Cross for various projects and the Golden Horseshoe Golf Course for youth golf tournaments. As a family man, Paul loved being involved and active with his family, cooking large meals to share, yard work, the western channel and friendships. He was an active member of St. Bede Catholic Church since 1948.

    I knew Paul for almost 40 years through athletics and later in life as a regular on Wednesday poker games. Paul was a wonderful human being who loved life and his family. I will dearly miss Paul and I send my heartfelt condolences to the Yewcic Family. May God Bless you all during this difficult time.

    Randy and Mark: I was sadden to read of ypur Dad's passing. He was a wonderful man. I have a lot of fond memories of him visiting the apartment at ODU and when I spent time with you in Williamsburg. he always treated me like I was one of his own which was very special to me. I know the feelings you are having now as I experienced them almost 10 years ago. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Once things have finally settled down and gotten back to normal I would love to hear from you to kind of catch up. God bless you and your fmily at this time.
