Paul Beach Scoles III, age 71, died on May 9, 2014 at Swedish Hospital, Cherry Hill. He died unexpectedly due to cardiac arrest after surgery. He is survived by his wife, one son, and two grandchildren.

Mr. Scoles was a veteran of the Vietnam War, and recipient of the Purple Heart, Air Medal, Silver Star, Soldier’s Medal, Gallantry Cross with Palm, Vietnam Campaign Medal with 60 Device, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Vietnam Service Medal and National Defense Service Medal.

He was the son of Paul and Rosemary Scoles. He had two siblings who preceded him in death. His early childhood was spent in Japan and Europe because his father was stationed there after World War II.

He earned the status of Master Model Railroader and has left behind a legacy demonstrating his talent in the form of his published photography, his magazine articles on model railroading and his DVD series on scenery.

Paul was an avid baseball fan, and was able to play a few years in the Senior Baseball League before he had to hang them up.
