To this union three children were born: Cynthia Kay (Steve) Enright, Phillip Paul (Darcy) McBroom and Sandra Rae (Rick) Hopkins. Paul farmed in Wayne County all of his life.

Honorary family members include Janice Morgan, Teri Walker, and Dr. Joel Wells who together dedicated years of compassionate care of Paul. From the onset of his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 1987 his attitude and spirit never wavered. Paul worked hard all of his life and expected no less of anyone else. He had a couple of mottos that he felt everyone should live by: "Don't spend a lot of money on something that doesn't produce" and "There are only two ways to do something: the wrong way and his way." Paul said, "You can tell the worth of a man by the way his grandkids turn out!" He was very proud of his! Memorials may be given to the Wayne County Home Health Agency or Wayne County Public Health.
