Born in Indian Bayou on May 9, 1949, Paul grew up and spent most of his life in Crowley. Paul graduated from Crowley High in 1967. He joined the U.S. Navy, serving two tours in Vietnam, where he received a Purple Heart.
While still in the Navy, Paul was stationed in Washington, D.C., where he met Paula Brown, whom he quickly fell in love with and married in 1971. After moving back to Crowley, Paul became an officer with the Crowley Police Department and completed a career there in 1988, retiring as a Captain. He continued a career in law enforcement as a Louisiana State Adult Probation & Parole Officer until 1999.
Paul and Paula had one son, Cliff. In 2004 they were blessed with a grandson, Victor Paul, whom he cherished.
Paul loved watching the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints play football, hunting and fishing, and all of the delicious food he and his family prepared. He loved music, singing and playing guitar since he was a teenager. Paul will be fondly remembered for his quick wit and all of the laughter he provided throughout his life.

The family requests visiting hours Sunday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. A rosary will be recited Sunday at 6 p.m. at the funeral home by the Immaculate Heart of Mary Ladies Altar Society.
