Paul retired from the U.S. Army as a sniper and served in the National Guard. He was also a deep-sea welder and a diesel mechanic.

Paul loved pheasant hunting and woodworking. He was always very quick to crack a joke and make everybody laugh. He was a very loving and caring person was always there when ever anyone of us needed him no matter what.

He was a great friend to the neighborhood gang.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Josie Sanford; children Margarita, David, Lorenzo and Julie; grandchildren John, Robert, Paul, Christopher, Mariah and Alena; great grandchildren Gabriel, Taylor, Brandon, Blake, Tyler and Capri

We love and miss you so very much. Sleep with the angels, pops.
