After serving in the U.S. Navy, Paul had the opportunity to join Western Airlines, where he was employed for over 25 years. He married Elaine Burzynski on January 24, 1964, in Longmont, Colorado. Paul lived in Mountain Home since moving from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, in 1988, and was a long-time volunteer at Baxter Regional Hospital. He was an avid reader of Spy Fiction novels, loved seeing action movies at the movie theater, and was a life-long Minnesota Vikings fan. Paul moved to Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, in October 2018, to be closer to his son Kelly. They enjoyed watching sports, going to the casino to play the slot machines, and eating out together.
