History and sports. Paul was a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan and would often take his sons and grandsons to St. Louis for ball games.
Paul was a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lynchburg. He was involved in many philanthropic activities including donations to veteran and children organizations. He also donated countless units of blood to the American Red Cross.
