He was united in marriage to Shirley Wiese on July 25, 1965 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Farnhamville where they were lifelong members. Paul was drafted into the United States Army where he served with the Big Red One as a small wheel mechanic in Vietnam. He was awarded two bronze stars and achieved the rank of sergeant. In 2017 he participated in the Brushy Creek Honor Flight. Paul was a man of many talents. He farmed, operated the Standard Oil Station in Farnhamville, enjoyed classic cars, classic country music, and later in life he enjoyed driving a semi-truck. Paul was a horseman his entire life and had a special gentle way with them. Starting with Quarter horses and then driving hitch ponies, he often joked as he got older the horses got smaller. He was a member of the Iowa Draft Pony Hitch Association and in 2016 was inducted into the IDPHA Hall of Fame. Above all, he was so proud of his family and told them often. Many will remember his sense of humor and laugh.
