Paul was raised in Alaska, which, until his passing, he was very fond of and shared many stories of with his friends and family. One of his favorite memories was of walking to school carrying a fishing pole in one hand and a gun in the other.... And his encounter with a moose one day on his way home after school. Paul was also proud to have served his country in both the Navy and Air Force. He retired from the military as a Tech Sergeant after 23 years of service. After retiring, Paul explored many different career options, including becoming an ordained minister.

The family would like to extend their appreciation and gratitude to the doctors and staff at University of Colorado Hospital, Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, and to Halcyon Hospice for their exceptional care of Paul throughout his illness. They would also like to extend a special thanks to Sally and Ray Sears and the Torah Mishpacha in Loveland, Colorado, for their prayers, support, visits, and Tahara observance.
