Paul Eugene Gamble, son of the late Walter Earl and Lotta Mae (Gordon) Gamble, was born Nov. 30, 1931, in Waynoka, Okla., and passed away Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014, in Oklahoma City at the age of 82 years, 9 months and 21 days.

After Paul graduated from Waynoka High School, he enlisted in the United States Navy.

On Dec. 25, 1954, he was united in marriage to Ellen Pearl Pratt in Arnett, Okla. They moved to Waynoka, where he owned and operated Gamble’s Plumbing, where he worked in HVAC and as an electrician.
