After his honorable discharge from the Navy he went on to marry Sherry Crisp in 1967. From this union came “The Day Boys” Darren and Doug. Many happy memories from growing up on Stockton Lake, boating, skiing, and camping remain today. Paul enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons for many years. Paul worked as a special machines electrician at Detroit Tool until his retirement. In August of 1993, Paul was united in marriage to Jacqueline Marie Misplay. They shared 21 years together. They enjoyed bird watching, planting flowers, traveling and attending St. Francis DeSales Catholic Church together with daughter Lisa. Paul enjoyed everything outdoors, from floating with his family and friends to backyard barbeques. He cherished playtime and snuggles with his little buddy and longtime companion Snicker. Always together, with unconditional love, they were never apart. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lebanon Claws and Paws animal adoption.
