After his military career, Paul began his painting trade for 40+ years and continued painting as a hobby after retirement.

Paul's passion for genealogy research has left a written legacy for his children, grandchildren, and extended family. He enjoyed bowling, fishing, western music, movies, and painting his abstract art on any spare piece of wood he could find. If there wasn't one nearby, he would just start painting the walls.
