Paul Ingraham Wren Jr. (Graham) passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 1, 2022.
Graham graduated from Medford High School and studied Mechanical Engineering at Tufts College, graduating in 1957. As an ROTC graduate, he gave his next two years to the Navy, stationed on the U.S.S. Saratoga. The same year, he married Karen Margot Westly (Kari), a prize winning surfer and swimmer who had come to Tufts Bouve on scholarship from Oahu, Hawaii. The two began a family whilst Graham toured the world with the Navy. Kathryn Trumbull Wren was born in 1958.
Graham and Kari divorced in 1975.
Graham relished collecting Model A Fords and rebuilt his first when he was only fifteen. He was often seen driving around Georgetown Island in his bright red Model A truck with a load of children in the back. His extended family was very important to him and he endeavored to keep up with their many goings on. He greeted everyone he met with a twinkling smile and warm heart.
Graham leaves behind his daughter Kathryn Trumbull Wren of Lee, NH and her children Ame Wren and Andrew Hickson of Charlottesville, VA, Katie Bunten and Will Wamaru of Amherst, NH, and Christopher Moreau of Lee, NH; his daughter Susan Westly Wren and her husband Theo Holtwijk of Georgetown, ME; his son Paul I. Wren III and his wife Mary Lee Fryer of Santa Barbara, CA and their sons Paul I. Wren IV (Graham) and Gordon Thomas Wren; and his sister Mary Wren Swain, of Georgetown, ME. He was predeceased by his parents, his first wife Karen Westly Wren, his second wife Vizma Aprans Wren, his younger sister Frances Wren Raymond and her husband Robert Raymond, his brother-in-law Raymond Swain, and his grandson Scott John Moreau.
The family wishes to thank the entire staff at Hill House in Bath, and CHANS Hospice for their loving care.
