He was preceded in death by his parents Harland and Stella Myers, and brother, Henry Myers. Paul was a loving husband, devoted father and world’s best Papa. He met Izzi when he was in 8th grade; they fell in love and married December 16, 1961 in Denver, CO. In 1966 they moved to Anaheim, CA, and in 1970 moved to Orange, CA where he lived for the rest of his life. Paul was a professional truck driver for ICX until 1981, and then continued driving for Farmer Brothers Coffee until he retired in 2009. Paul was an active Teamsters member and acted as steward for many years. His love for the road was evident after retirement when Paul and Izzi hit the road as much as they could in their motor home. Paul enjoyed going to car shows, the grandchildren’s sporting, musical and dance recitals and loved eating at Ricardo's Mexican Restaurant in Orange, CA. They attended a Baptist church in Orange for many years where they grew their faith and raised their children in a Christian home. Paul was a great example for his children, teaching them to fear God and love one another. He was a gentle man, faithful and loving husband, father, grandfather, son and brother, and trusted friend to many.
