Paul was an avid fisherman – especially for catfish– and ‘coon hunter. He enjoyed playing music and writing his own songs and quirky poems. He truly enjoyed his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, especially when they were babies, and was known for the odd nicknames he gave them. He would help anyone in need and had a good heart.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Myrtle; daughter, Carol Lena Cobb; great-grandson, Tommy Bassler; and 12 siblings.
Per his wishes, he will be cremated and then laid to rest with his wife in Sebastopol, California, following a celebration of life in Colusa, California.
