Paul born on July 28, 1934 and lived Visalia his lifetime with the exception of going to college and his military service. He attended local schools – Willow Nickerson, Sundale, Visalia High School, College of Sequoias and finished with Southern California Bible College at Cal Poly.

He married Glenda Fay Salyers on August 19, 1961. Their life has been church, family and farming. They began with planting just walnut trees and raised lots of crops throughout the years. Paul retired at age 65. The best thing they raised was their two sons and a daughter who serve the Lord and honor their father.

Paul took God everywhere. Each farm, family, and church decision was made with prayer. The last fifteen years he was part of the Gideon Ministry and the last four years he was a Hospital Volunteer Chaplain.

All the family will miss his love, comfort, council and above all, his prayers.
