He was born at ___ South Nettleton in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri. He was in the army during WW II. His brothers Bob and Ralph were also in the army during the war.
He remembers the many things that the family had to give into because of my dad and the fact they thought he would die from a heart murmer, heart troubles and that was the years they did not know. Now they know most children outgrow it. But he said there was a lot of problems in the family all the other kids having to give in to him. Hard living with a child that had health problems and had to give in to him.
Almost seems a coincicdence, Paul had an Uncle first name of Noah and the woman he married her last name was Noah.
Paul has been a good provider for his family, he had a wife that always made his meals for him, and she even put his food on his plate and carried it to him. Still does to this day in 2006. He had to do the driving for the family as she couldn't drive because of her medical condition. They raised two boys, moved from a tough part of Kansas City into the country in Blue Springs. The boys are now raised and on their own.
Paul was in WW II and does not have a lot to say about the time he spent in the war. Like most they tend to be quiet about those times. Mostly sharing some funny little thing that happened. Or speak about good ole buds.
I have my fondest memories of Paul as a child growing up. My mother always said it was Paul that bought my shoes and winter coats and without his doing that I may have had to do without. Okay, so he didn't sew for me like his mother and sisters did, but he still done his part to help put something on me.
The time that was the best for me with my Uncle Paul was a teen ager. I was staying with him and my Aunt and we would watch the Roller Derby on TV. Just could not miss it. We was all rowdy and the hecklers of many of those derby folk. Even though they could not hear us as we were not part of the live audience, but the home audience of television. All of us would cheer and jeer as they men and the women had the roller derby races. They were tough people. Hair pulling, knock downs, throw 'em on the rails.
When my twins would talk about Paul with they would call him Great Uncle Paul as that is what I had always told them was his name. We had jokes about one of them would say "Great Uncle Paul," and then I would remark, "Yeah, I always thought of him as great Uncle Paul too." That would make my boys laugh, they seemed to think it was just as funny all those years from the first time they understood what the sentence meant.
