Price McElroy Funeral Home Obituary Page
Another member of our small group passed away on May 10, 2026. Although he had not been actively fishing for several years, he attended our meetings and banquets as his health allowed. Paul fished 5 tournaments in 2005 and 4 tournaments in 2006 when he finished in 20th place.
Paul holds the record for the biggest bass ever caught in a Trophy Bassmasters club tournament. He caught a 6 # 10 oz Largemouth Bass on Lake Logan in 1975. The annual Big Bass Traveling trophy bears his name and is a tribute to his early years of bass fishing.
Funeral services for Paul will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, May 18, 2026, at the Price-McElroy Funeral Home in Kenton with Pastor Mark Bishop officiating. Burial will follow at Grove Cemetery. Friends and family may visit from 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the funeral home.
Paul’s Memorial Page has been added to our website.
