For the Andreas VFW Post #5069, he was a Trustee, active member, and enthusiastic poppy seller. Paul enjoyed history, photography, traveling, bicycling, automobiles, cats, and class reunions, having attended his 60th in 2019. He was able to build and fix almost anything, a talent honed while working on family farms.
