Paul A. Totten, 93, loving father, grandfather and friend, died Wednesday afternoon at his home in South Bend, doing what he loved - working in his yard and garden. He was born on March 10, 1919 to the late Arthur and Della Totten in Milltown, IN. On April 12, 1941 in St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Frenchtown, IN, Paul married Rose L. Applegate, who was the love of his life. She preceded him in death on March 10, 2007. Also preceding him were five siblings and an infant daughter, Anna E. Totten. Paul was a religious, strong and energetic man, who worked diligently all of his life. He served in the US Army/Air Force. He was decorated with the American Theater Ribbon, the WW II Victory Medal, the Asiatic Theater Ribbon and the Good Conduct Medal of Honor. He worked in the rock quarries of Southern Indiana, and became a truck driver when the family moved to South Bend in 1952. Paul is survived by daughters, Pam Sibal and Arlene (Karl) Napper; sons, Charles (Kyong) Totten, Sam (Char) Totten and Ken Totten.
