He graduated from Chippewa Falls High School and attended college at the University of Wisconsin in River Falls and Eau Claire. He then joined the US Army where he was a radio operator and sang in a military quartet for USO shows, hospitals, officers clubs and contests. The quartet won 2nd place in a European concert among others over their years of touring.

Paul is survived by his wife Kay, his children David (Kari), Robert (Laurine), Colleen (John) and William (Monnica) as well as nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, David and Elva and sister, Darlene Manley. Reading and Music were a big part of his life. He loved playing guitar and singing, camping, travelling, golfing, canoeing and fishing among many other hobbies. He traveled in the Army, on missionary trips, and vacations to Germany, England, France, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Scotland, Greenland, Guatemala, Honduras and others. Paul enjoyed playing and watching many sports, but his favorite teams were the Wisconsin Badgers and the Green Bay Packers. He also enjoyed coaching Little League baseball for his boys.

Paul volunteered in a multitude of roles over many years for a variety of organizations including churches he attended, Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Kiwanis, Emergency Medical Technician, and Plateau Pregnancy Center, mentoring disabled adults, The Wisconsin Challenge Academy, and the Military Honor Guard among others. His favorite scripture was Philippians 3:9-13 which says, in part "not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God. That I may know him and the power of his resurrection" Paul wants to be remembered as a caring, enjoyable, honest, sharing Christian man.
