During the Korean War, Paul was a 1st Lieutenant in the Army National Guard, working as a Judge Advocate General.

As a proud veteran he joined the American Veterans (Am Vets) Post 216, American Legion Post 206, as well as the Korean War Veterans Association Chapter 256. Paul was a talented handyman and never left anything broken. He took pride in teaching his son what he knew and encouraged everyone to follow suit by gifting tools at Christmas. Dance was always a major part of his social life. Before her death, he loved taking his wife, Ruth, square dancing. After losing his wife, he met Joanne and continued dancing, but switched to ballroom dancing with her. His family and friends will always miss him, and his dry sense of humor.
