Paul S. Huntley
CASTLETON — Paul S. Huntley died peacefully Friday, Feb. 8, 2002, at Rutland Regional Medical Center after a long and courageous battle with lung disease. His loving family was at his bedside.
Paul was born on July 29, 1927, in Westford, Vt., to Herbert E. and Jennie Tatro Huntley. He grew up on a farm and graduated with honors from Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax, Vt., in 1944.
Paul began his lifetime of service to his country and the State of Vermont when at the early age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Navy. He served in the Pacific Theater and was aboard the first mine sweeper that entered Tokyo Bay at the close of World War II. He received an honorable discharge from the Navy with the rank of chief petty officer.
He entered the Vermont State Police Training Academy in 1952 and after successful completion was promoted to Trooper 2nd Class and assigned to the Derby, Vt., Barracks. During his career with the Vermont State Police, he was assigned to several duty stations, including Middlesex, Rutland, St. Johnsbury, Brattleboro, Vermont State Police Headquarters in Montpelier, and the Police Training Academy in Pittsford, where he instructed police public relations and drug identification.
His final duty station was in Rockingham, where he was troop commander for Rockingham and Bethel districts. While with the state police, he continued his criminal justice education at Castleton State College, Babson College and Northeastern University. In 1956 he was the recipient of the Commissioner of Public Safety Commendation for the apprehension of an armed robber. In 1977 he was the recipient of the Vermont Chiefs of Police Association Distinguished Service Award for Highway Safety for his creation of “Monty,” the Talking State Police Car, a restored 1947 Ford state police cruiser equipped to “talk” and teach highway safety to people of all ages. “Monty” is still in use today for this purpose. Paul retired from the Vermont State Police in August 1982 with the rank of captain.
The “joys of retirement” were very short-lived for this energetic public servant, so in 1983 he began his second career by joining the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department, where he served for seven years, retiring in 1990 with the rank of lieutenant.
He then entered his third career of public service when he was elected to his first term as assistant judge in Rutland County and was re-elected to his second four-year term in 1994. As a result of state-mandated age restrictions, he reluctantly retired from the bench in 1999.
Paul was a member of American Legion Post 31, Loyal Order of Moose 1122, Cairo Temple Shrine of North America, the Vermont State Police Retired Troopers Association and the National Assistant Judges Association. He was a former member and captain of the Cairo Temple Motorcycle Corps. He greatly enjoyed riding his “big Harley,” and boating and fishing at his summer cottage on Lake Champlain in South Hero, Vt.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ellen Ladabouche Huntley; three children, his beloved daughter, Sheri Rainville and her husband, Mark, of Fairfax, Vt., son Scott and his wife, Betty, of St. Albans, Vt., and son Herb and his wife, Vicki, of Valrico, Fla.; two “brothers,” Mark F. Ladabouche and his wife, Joanne, of Rutland, Vt., and Hale H. Ladabouche and his wife, Becky, of Pittsford, Vt.; a beloved nephew, Christopher G. Ladabouche of Charlestown, Mass.; 11 grandchildren; several cousins; and his loving German shepherd, “Keisha.”
He was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Jennie Huntley; and his stepmother, Dorene W. Parris.
In keeping with Paul’s wishes, there will be no calling hours and the funeral service will be private at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association Hospice, P.O. Box 787, Rutland, 05702, or Castleton First Response, P.O. Box 727, Castleton, 05735.
