Paul was born September 8, 1949, in Roanoke, Texas, to Tom Watson and Effie Fay McPherson. He graduated from Northwest High School in Justin, Texas, in 1968. Paul then went on to receive an associate's degree from TCJC after High school. He worked for Corning in Keller, Texas for 40 years and retired in 2008. Paul was a lifelong member of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Roanoke, Texas where he served as a Sunday school teacher, youth director, and music director.
Paul always treasured time spent with his family and enjoyed giving “unsolicited” history lessons. He was known as a kind, Godly man, and a special friend to many and could make conversation with anyone. He loved hunting, woodworking, gardening, bird watching, movies, camping, and could fix anything.
