He returned home to our Lord's welcoming embrace June 5, 2021, surrounded by his family…"Well done, thou good and faithful servant!" Paul grew up in Riverside, California and had a great love of cars and the beach life and would often play volleyball and snorkel. He went to Ramona High School in Riverside and then served in the Air Force from 1962-1968. He was stationed in Okinawa, Korea and Thailand. After his service, he started working for IBM repairing typewriters. He married Pamela Anne Poulsen on June 22, 1967 in the Los Angeles Temple and lived in Ridgecrest, CA.

During his time in Tooele, he graduated from BYU with a Bachelor of Science, his specialty was Horticulture. His love for growing things would last his entire lifetime, including developing amazing hydroponic systems and building a greenhouse. He also worked for Tooele Transcript, the local newspaper, as a pressman. After many business endeavors, he started Tooele Typewriter (which was located in the front room of our family home) repairing, cleaning typewriters and selling typewriter supplies. He received a contract with the school districts in the area and fixed typewriters. In 1987, after living in Utah for 17 years, he was finally able to take the family back to Riverside, and live in a home they bought from his mother. He was hired at the Riverside Press Enterprise, the local newspaper, where he worked as a machinist and repaired and kept the presses in running order for over 20 years. After retiring from the Press, he was a machinist for Mortan Industries. He loved building and inventing and could always be found in the garage or the backyard. Some of the projects he loved best were building a Tri-Magnum (3-wheeled car), building a hydrogen engine, creating ways to harness renewable energy sources, creating areas for food storage and emergency preparedness. He also loved cooking and eating healthy. He especially loved the oranges from his tree in the backyard.
