August 27, 1934 – February 22, 2020
When Paul was 5 years old, his family relocated from Missouri Valley, Iowa to Southern California. The family settled in Burbank and bought houses to fix up and sell. It was from this that he learned his sense for working hard.
He attended Emerson Elementary, John Muir Junior High, and Burbank High. After graduation, he toured the USA in his 1932 Roadster before enlisting in the Army and serving on a troop ship in Germany. Through the G.I. Bill, he was able to attend Glendale College, and where he met his wife-to-be Elaine Dickes in 1956. They were married in 1958, finished college together (at what is now CSUN), and had two children, Kevin and Karen.
Paul started his career as an insurance adjuster, then launched his own business as a handyman. He had a special gift for providing comedy relief, and was always friendly to everyone. Paul and Elaine were married for nearly 62 years.
