| Paul
R. Lezon, 64 years, of Lambertville, MI,
went to be with our Lord on Monday, January
19, 2004, in St. Anne Mercy Hospital, Toledo,
after overcoming many years of health obstacles.
Born August 3, 1939, in Chicago, IL, he
was the son of Walter M. and Mary E. Lezon.
A U.S. Army Veteran, he married Doris Sass
on June 9, 1962, in Toledo, with whom he
recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
Paul was employed as a surveyor for Mannik
& Smith, Inc. in Toledo for 30 years,
retiring in 1995. Paul had a kind
and gentle spirit. His optimistic nature,
in spite of his numerous years of health
problems, was an inspiration to all those
around him. Paul, who was grateful for every
day that the Lord gave him, will be remembered
as a devoted father, grandfather, neighbor,
and friend. We will miss him dearly.
He was a member of St. Luke's Lutheran Church
in Temperance and had been active with the
Bedford Athletic Boosters during the 1980's.
Paul had enjoyed golf, bowling, football,
and traveling.
Surviving are his loving wife, Doris; children,
Michelle (Joseph) Scazzero, Todd (Vicki)
Lezon, and Jeffrey (Cynthia) Lezon; grandchildren,
Ann Marie and Sara Scazzero, Emily, Maxwell,
Matthew, and Nicole Lezon; sister-in-law,

by his parents, and brother, Ronald Lezon.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday
at St. Luke's Lutheran Church at 2:00 p.m.
where he will lie in state after 1:00 p.m.,
