He was a jovial soul who loved to play practical jokes and tease those who surrounded him. He was a man of all trades. He could build or repair anything. He was quiet the craftsman with his tools and loved spending time in his shop, growing his garden and riding his golf cart with Angel. He was also an incredible athlete who loved to play softball and basketball. In his younger days, if he was not on the ballfield, he was spending time with his family and friends at his Camp on Toledo Bend. He loved to fish, hunt and see the pictures of wildlife caught by his game camera. Paul was devoted to Christ and a member of Salem Baptist Church where he was active in church activities. He loved having breakfast with his buddies at the Chevron in Stonewall and was often referred to as the "Mayor of Shady Lake". He was an extremely intelligent man with an incredible work ethic. He was all things a father, husband and grandfather should be. He left an amazing legacy, and he will be greatly missed, but the memories, advice, lessons and love he had for all those who knew him will live forever within their hearts.
