Paul A. LeDuc

Paul A. LeDuc, also known as Adelphis Paul LeDuc, was born on February 19, 1930, and passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend whose warmth and unique spirit touched everyone he met.

Paul was born and raised in Rhode Island and was the fourth of five children born to Hector and Marie LeDuc. He was preceded in death by two sisters and one brother.

He later began a new chapter in Florida after marrying the love of his life, Martha LeDuc. Together, they shared 65 wonderful years of marriage until her passing on April 9, 2024.

A proud veteran, Paul served four years,(1955-1959)in the United States Air Force, including time stationed in Korea. Following his military service, he built a long and dedicated career with Delta Airlines, where he worked for 27 years before retiring.

Retirement did not slow Paul down. He filled his days with creativity and generosity, finding joy in repairing and restoring furniture and expressing his artistic side by drawing on envelopes to send to family and friends. His home was always open, and no one ever left hungry—he made sure to have a steady supply of his favorite candy, fruit, chips, and other treats ready for anyone who stopped by just to say hello. He lived in his home for 62 years.

In his later years, Paul discovered a love for the harmonica, rarely going anywhere without it. He had a special gift for listening to a tune and playing it back, sometimes perfectly, sometimes in his own unique way—but always with heart.

Paul had a remarkable way with children. His playful spirit and silly antics brought laughter and smiles to kids of all ages, making him a magnet for joy wherever he went.

He also loved to travel and took every opportunity to explore, visiting many places across the United States and around the world.

Paul is survived by his three children: Paula Crawford (Mark), Yolonda Huhn (Doug), and Reginald LeDuc. He was a proud grandfather to Tyler Huhn (Amber), Kelsey Huhn, Julianne Beiger (Nikolai), Jocie Galecki (Matthew), McCall LeDuc, and Cole Crawford (Mackenzie), and a cherished great-grandfather to eight great-grandchildren.

Paul will be deeply missed. He brought a one-of-a-kind spirit into the lives of those around him—a spirit filled with generosity, humor, music, and love that will never be forgotten.
