Herbert Paul Beane, 65, of Paducah, formerly of the Carolinas, died on August 7, 2017, while in Arao, Japan, on a contract assignment.

Paul was born in Greensboro, N.C., on July 4, 1952.  Paul proudly served four years in the United States Navy, including two tours in Vietnam.  His career in the nuclear power/fuels industry spanned 39 years. After retiring from the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant as Manager of Nuclear Safety and Quality in 2012, Paul used his vast, unique expertise in his field in his newly formed consulting company, CAP Quality Solutions.  He derived great satisfaction from his work and the many friendships formed in his various places of employment. 

Above all, Paul was a devoted husband and father and was looking forward to his new role as “Poppy.”   He especially enjoyed traveling and, more recently, delighted in time spent on the lake, boating, fishing, and being with family.  Paul was an active member of Immanuel Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon, usher, and wherever he saw a need that he could help with. 

Surviving are his wife of 35 years, Cathy Wentzky Beane; daughter, Lauren Harris and husband Devin; granddaughter, Lily Belle Harris; aunt, Marion King of Greensboro, N.C.; brother, Jay Crutchfield and JoAnn of Atlanta; brother-in-law, Eddie Wentzky and wife Sherry of Anderson, S.C.; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Julia Joyce Beane.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, August 28, 2017, at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah with Rev. Jamie Broome officiating.

Visitation with Masonic rites will be held Sunday evening from 5-8 p.m. at the Funeral Home.
