He was born and raised in the Lebanon area, and attended Lebanon R-III Schools. He worked for a number of years as a roofer at Stiles Roofing in Lebanon.
In his spare time he enjoyed hunting and fishing and enjoyed listening to bluegrass music. Paul was always willing to lend a helping hand and he greatly enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. His children considered him to be the “perfect” dad.
Paul was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that his family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories he created for them during his lifetime.
