Paul held many offices in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Lowry; was a local Boy Scout troop leader for many years, and part of many farming organizations. 

Paul enjoyed camping, fishing, and traveling, especially in his motor home. He spent many hours tending to his garden where he grew raspberries, corn, watermelon, and potatoes. He also loved making lefse and taught many people how to make it themselves.

Paul and Dee remained on the family farm and tended to the dairy cows and crop fields until they retired in 2017 and moved to Arizona. In 2023, they moved to Tennessee to be closer to family. On October 21, 2023, Paul passed away peacefully among family in his home in Crossville, Tennessee having lived to the age of 83.
