A native of Duson, Louisiana, Paul graduated from Rayne High School in 1958. A proud Navy veteran, his military service brought him to Cecil Field, marrying Sharon Milton of Macclenny and settling in Macclenny in the early 1960's. Paul, Sharon, and their children enjoyed many years of area camping and fishing and Paul was among Baker County's most well known and successful fishermen.
