Paul was a tinkerer – fascinated and inspired by all things related to leading edge technology, mechanical challenges, and complex electronics. He spent countless hours repairing CAT scanners, rebuilding Volkswagens, and soldering components to a circuit board. He was an avid student and observer of life and shared this wisdom with others as a teacher, coach, and mentor. He cherished dinning out with his daughter, conquering difficult jigsaw puzzles, and listening to gospel music. Paul was a kind person who will be missed dearly.
A graveside service will be held at the Evergreen Cemetery in Keith, Texas on Tuesday July 11, 2017 at 11:30am under the direction of the Rader Funeral Home.
