He attended the Shelby Street Wesleyan Church in Indianapolis.
He was an avid fan of the western TV shows, enjoying most the 20 year run of "Gunsmoke".
Paul never met a stranger, he was a "friend" to all.
He touched so many people's lives in so many different ways, and he will never be forgotten.

Burial: Sutherland Park Cemetery in Indianapolis
