Paul graduated from Corinth Central School, Class of 1940.

He was a U.S. Navy World War II veteran (1942 to 1945) serving as petty officer first class. His military stint found him installing and field testing radar on Naval aircraft. He was a part of a pioneering project to perfect radar as a means of identifying targets on bombing runs. After the war, he chose to return to his beloved Corinth instead of embarking on an international career in technology. He and Chester Dayton were partners in Dayton Brothers Lumber Co., which he operated for 51 years before retiring in 1998.

He was an active, life-long member of the Corinth Wesleyan Church where he held many offices including Sunday school superintendent, Sunday school teacher, member of the board of trustees, member of the board of administration, building committee chairman, Young People's Society sponsor and choir member. In addition, he held many offices in the Champlain Conference/District of the Wesleyan Church.

Paul loved the Adirondacks including hunting, hiking, cruising and making his living from the forest. However, most important to him was his love, obedience and service to Jesus Christ.

The funeral was held Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009, at 2 p.m. at the Corinth Wesleyan Church, 292 River St., with the Rev. Leonard Humbert (nephew) and the Rev. Dick Engert, officiating.
