After the war, he returned to the states settling in Midwest City. As fate would have it, he met Mary Lou Glazier one night at a skating rink.

Paul worked for 36 years total at Tinker. He worked mostly as an aircraft mechanic and later as a trainer for up and coming mechanics. He was passionate about airplanes and when not at work, one could find him at an air show. Paul enjoyed playing golf and spent many a day fishing with friends and grandchildren. He had a Servant's heart and believed in giving back to his community and to the less fortunate.

He also enjoyed an annual summer trip with Builders for Christ, traveling to points across the US to help build new churches. He also traveled halfway around the world to help support and continue construction at Sparrow's Nest orphanage in Latvia. His greatest joy was Mary and his family, or better known to his grandchildren as Papa. Papa especially loved being an avid supporter of the grandchildren's activities and sporting events.
