Paul was known as a hard worker. He worked 32 years in the oil refining industry, remaining at the same plant his entire career. Paul also was an avid outdoorsman, and gardener, who would share the gospel at any time with people around him, even if you hadn’t asked.  Even in his last day’s he was testifying how God blessed him and his family. Paul loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren having tickling matches and taking them hunting, fishing, camping and digging for gems and minerals. He amassed quite a collection and finally started his own company, Paul Texas Gems. Paul had a servant attitude and was an excellent caregiver to his father-in-law Hubert Groover and sister Phyllis Graef, both of whom preceded him in death.
