Paul served on the Kearney Housing authority and was a charter member of the Home Builders Association. He regularly supported and attended Hope Evangelical Free Church. In 1980, he married Lorene Carlson and they made their permanent home in Kearney, Nebraska. Paul made friends all over the Kearney area and it was impossible to sit in a restaurant with him without someone coming up who knew him. Many who knew Paul, found that he was known for his servant heart, often giving of his time and energy to those who needed it. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Lorene Fredrickson of Kearney; his sisters, Karin Wisdom and Carolyn (Keith) Scheidies; as well as, many nieces, nephews, cousins and his dog, Franee.
