    Notes 
    • Paul L. Violand died Sunday. He was born November 4, 1920 in Canton, Ohio, to the late Lawrence and Anna Mae Mospens Violand. A member of Saint Michael?s Catholic Church for almost 35 years, he has lived in Canton since he returned from Merchant Marine duties in World War II and married Mary Catherine Laubacher on October 26, 1946, with whom he had six children; she died in 1977. He married Shirley Ruddersmith in 1979; she died in 1998. He married Bernadine Daniska in 1998; she died in 2001. He is survived by loving companion Janice Renner of Dover, five children and their spouses: Joseph and Rebecca Violand, Charles and Karen Violand, Lucinda (Cindy) and Edward Piccari, Jean (Jurovcik) and Larry Fisher, and Mark and Margaret Violand; and two sisters and their spouses: Rita and Richard Schott and Gerry and Frank Garfield. He is also survived by grandchildren and spouses and great-grandchildren: Jennifer and Patrick Coakley and Riley; Chris Violand and Laura Scalia and Dylan; Justin and Xenia Jurovcik; Joshua and Mary Kay Jurovcik; Catie, Andrew and Michael Jurovcik; and Jessica, Claire, Alyssa, Charlton, Julianne, Alexander and Adrienne Violand. Also surviving are the children and grandchildren of Shirley, Bernadine and Janice, and many loving members of the Laubacher family. In addition to his wives, he was preceded in death by an infant son Raymond, and his brothers, twins John and James Violand. He graduated from Louisville High School in 1940, and had been employed by Weber Dental Manufacturing and Fishers Foods. He retired from Plain Local Schools in 1985. Paul was very proud that his twenty years of retirement allowed him to be active in community service. He volunteered with clients of Stark County MRDD Whipple Dale Center, including a yearly backyard picnic at his place, and delivered Meals On Wheels for most of those years. A past president and vice president of Everhard Belden AARP #4121 and past president of his high school reunion, he was past president of the Hall of Fame Merchant Marine and U.S. Navy Armed Guard Veterans of World War II and thoroughly enjoyed riding in parades in the group's float, a WWII-era lifeboat. A member of the Mayfield Center Seniors and of the Mayfield Center Senior Volunteers, Paul called bingo for many years. He enjoyed membership in Saint Michael's Sociable Seniors, bus trips with Primetime Seniors through Aultman Hospital, and golfed until a few years ago. A Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday at 10 a.m. in St. Michael's Catholic Church with Fr. Bradford Helman as Celebrant. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Friends may call Thursday from 6-9 p.m. in the Lamiell Funeral Home. The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made in Paul's name to the Stark County MRDD Whipple Dale Center or the charity of your choice.
