He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church at Emmetsburg, Palo Alto County Planning and Zoning Committee, American Legion and Isaac Walton League. An avid sportsman, Paul enjoyed hunting and fishing, and he worked on numerous environmental projects including the Five Island Lake restoration and dredging project. He was a conservationist before it was popular. Paul loved Emmetsburg and her lake, and he always worked to support the town.

Left to cherish his memory are his sons, John (Connie) of Winona, Minn., and James (Shiela) of Le Mars; grandchildren, Joe of Wauwatosa, Wis., Jim of St. Paul, Minn., Sarah of Sioux Falls, S.D. and Katie of Cedar Falls.
