Heilman and maintained his Sales Administrator Manager title through many mergers. When he retired from Rainier Brewery, he worked for Washington Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, Washington Beer Distributors and Micro Breweries and all major breweries including Budweiser, Miller and Coors doing their statistical monthly reports until the laws changed and he got ill. He was Radio Man in the Navy and attended College at the University of Buffalo in New York. He was a member of the Tacoma Elks for a time and the University Place Lions Club. He loved going to his grandson Ricky’s baseball games and his granddaughter Samantha was very special to him. Adrienne, William and Craig lived in Arizona so he did not get to spend much time with them but loved them just as much. Family functions were very important to Paul. He was always out to please and lend a helping hand and he didn’t like friction at all. When he was in deep thought he would go around the house or at work humming his favorite tune for that day. He didn’t have any hobbies as his work was his life and his hobby. He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years Beverly, Brother Ralph, N.Y., three daughters, Tricia Seery, England, Sue Laybe, AZ, Kim Cramotn, AZ, a son, William Cramton, WA, two step-children, Peggy Hardman, WA and Robert Hardman WA. Five Grandchildren, William Cramton, WI, Craig Cramton, WI, Adrienne Laybe, AZ, Samantha Peterson (Blaine Peterson), TN and Ricky Brevik, WA. Paul will be forever missed by his family and friends.
