PAUL CHILD , AT AGE 92 WAS ARTIST AND RETIRED FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER
Obituary-- Paul Child, a retired foreign-service officer, artist and husband of Julia Child, America's quintessential television chef, died on Thursday at the Fairlawn Nursing Home in Lexington, Mass. A longtime resident of Cambridge, he was 92.
He had been ill for a long time, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Child said. Mr. Child was born in Montclair, N.J. He was educated at Boston Latin School and Columbia College. He soon moved to Paris and pursued his interest in art, working in such diverse media as drawing, etching, painting and woodcarving.
He then had a 20-year career as a tutor and teacher near Venice, at a private American school in France and the Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut. His subjects were painting, photography, English, French and judo, in which he was a black belt, fourth class.
He joined the Office of Strategic Services in World War II and was posted to Washington, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and China. His task was to design war rooms for American and British general staffs. Curiosity
About Food Mr. Child was heading a chart-making unit in Ceylon when he met Julia McWilliams, who also had become a member of the O.S.S., precursor of the Central Intelligence Agency. In China together, they sampled the restaurants of Chungking and Kunming and developed a shared curiosity about food. They were married in 1946.
After the war, he was assigned to the United States Information Agency, which sent them to Paris for nearly five years. There, Mrs. Child took up cooking in earnest. Mr. Child was also stationed in Marseilles, Bonn (where he became familiar with German wines) and Oslo. He retired from Government service in 1961.
The couple then settled in Cambridge, largely for its intellectual atmosphere, and Mr. Child collaborated with his wife in the design of her amply appointed kitchen. He became the master of the Childs' wine cellar and supplied photographs and illustrations for her cookbooks.
He was also a poet whose works celebrated Mrs. Child, his favorite subject. He had intended to live solely as an artist in retirement, but spent a good deal of time on her television show once the original "French Chef" went on the air in the winter of 1963.
Besides his wife, he is survived by many nieces and nephews.
