Astoria
Feb. 7, 1954 — Aug. 18, 2021
Paul Clinton Skarra
passed away peacefully in
his bed, as he would have
wanted, and where his
brother, David, found him
on Aug. 17, 2021.
Paul was born the third
child and son to Perry E
and Rozelle “Dolly” Skarra
in Browning, Montana, on
Sept. 19, 1944. Paul lived
the majority of his life in
Oregon — Portland, Lake
Oswego, Clatskanie, and
for the past many years,
Seaside.
Paul loved the beach, the
sounds of the waves and
the wind when walking on
the beach or sitting enjoy-
ing a sunset with a cold beer
or glass of red wine. Paul
opened his homes to fam-
ily and friends to enjoy this
peaceful place with him.
Paul had multiple chances
to show his heroic triumph
over adversity in his lifetime
— including his multiple
wounds, seen and unseen,
from his work in the U.S.
Army in Vietnam in the late
1960s. Paul loved a good
time and traveled with fam-
ily and friends to “hot spots”
for fun and togetherness and
enjoyed taking his chances
at slot machines along with
a glass of wine and sharing
his bounty with friends and
family.
Paul remained kind, gen-
erous, sweet, a good friend
to many and an attentive
brother to his family for his
whole life.
Paul is survived by his
brothers, David (Diane),
of Hammond, Mike, of
Vista, California, Stuart,
of Escondido, California;
sisters, Suzanne, of Santa
Cruz, California, and Ter-
ese, of Oceanside, Califor-
nia; numerous nieces and
nephews and great nieces
and nephews.
When Paul met you,
you became a friend, which
results in so many friends
who loved and respected
him that they number too
many to count.
Besides his parents,
Paul was predeceased by
his brother, John, of Port-
land; sister, Mary, of New
Mexico; and niece, Bridget
Skarra, of Oregon.
The family expresses
gratitude to brother, David;
nephew, Kyle Skarra, for
helping in so many ways and
making fi nal arrangements;
the Kulunkis — longtime
friends from Clatskanie for
their help, generosity, love
and calm consideration; and
thanks to April — caregiver
and friend.
Memorial plans are
forthcoming.

Warrenton volleyball off to hot start
Two local volleyball
teams that will be challeng-
ing for league titles at their
respective levels met on the
court for the second time in
three days last weekend.
The Knappa Loggers and
Warrenton Warriors renewed
their friendly preseason Clat-
sop Clash rivalry with their
annual season opener Aug.
26 at Warrenton, followed by
a championship match meet-
ing in Warrenton’s tourna-
ment on Saturday.
Warrenton — favorites
to win the Coastal Range
League for the fourth year in
a row — was the winner both
times, although the Loggers
showed that they will defi -
nitely be a state playoff factor
at the 2A level.
The Warriors won the sea-
son opener in four sets, then
cruising to the championship
victory in Saturday’s tourna-
ment, following a semifi nal
win over Nestucca.
After pool play, Warrenton
advanced to the gold bracket
(top four teams) and defeated
the Bobcats in three sets, then
swept both sets from the Log-
gers in the title match, 25-13,
25-20.
On Tuesday, Warren-
ton saw a three-set victory at
Seaside, 25-11, 25-19, 25-9,
improving to 4-0 overall.
Paige Tingstrom (18-18)
and London O’Brien (11-11)

Q: Why do my
dentures no
longer fit?
Once teeth are lost, the gums and
bones have a tendency to shrink and
recede. Just like a leg in a cast for several
months receiving no stimulation, then
removing the cast and seeing a withered
leg, the dental jaw bone is stimulated by
the function of the teeth and the forces of
chewing. When teeth are removed, this
stimulation is lost, and for many denture
wearers, the bone will shrink resulting in a
change of bone volume and a stable denture
fit. If your situation does require loss of teeth
or you now have dentures, ask about dental
implants which can help support dentures
and minimize loss of bone volume.
Please contact our office at 503-325-0310
for an evaluation.
