He was born on December 17, 1949 to Robert and Frances Halverson Bemiss in West Union, Iowa. He attended North High School and graduated on May 26, 1968. After graduation he attended NIACC in Mason City and graduated with an Associate Degree in Business in 1970. He moved back to West Union and was employed by John Havener pharmacy and was also employed by H & H Distributing. In 1971 after his parents passed away, he owned Bemiss Distributing with his brother Gary until they sold it in June of 2020. Paul had one son, Robert Michael and he was the joy in his life. He also loved his nieces and nephews and then his great-nieces and nephews. He was a wonderful father and uncle. Paul was a member of the Bethel Presbyterian Church and he was baptized on January 9, 1950 and confirmed in May of 1963. Paul was a member of the Jaycee's chapter in West Union and he also loved bowling. He loved the game of golf, and most importantly matching his shoes to his visor. Paul ran JB Racing with Bob Gage for several years and he also enjoyed driving his race car. He co-owned the race team called Black Jack Racing with Layne Meyer. He loved Nascar and anything to do with racing, whether it be cars, horses or dogs. Paul also enjoyed hosting exchange students at his home and formed many friendships through the exchange program. Paul co-founded the Knob Prairie Benefit which raised over $500,000.00 for the children of our community and you can see many things around town, especially at the rec center this benefit funded. In 2010, Paul was named co-citizen of the year recognizing his charitable work around the community. After his full-time retirement, he made his home permanent in Florida where he could be close to his son, Rob.
