Paul was born on October 22, 1939, to Frederick and Dovie (Gee) Morris. He was united in marriage to Marilyn Rae White on December 18, 1959, in Wichita Falls, Texas. Paul was a retired truck driver. He enjoyed taking his family camping at the lake with close friends over the years, boating, water skiing, and fishing. Paul and his wife Marilyn enjoyed Western Swing music and loved to dance. In later years, they took many trips to Ruidoso, New Mexico to the Western Swing Festival. Paul and his son enjoyed many cross-country trips on their Harley’s. Paul was devoted to caring for his wife for the past several years and would always take her Sunday dinner to enjoy the afternoon together. Paul started his days at the local coffee shop with his buddies and then ended the day with the 4 o’clock coffee gossip session with the same group of buddies.
