He worked at numerous San Angelo movie theaters throughout college. His business career saw him working for DeCoty Coffee, KIDY, and Republic Services. He then started a second career as a Pharmacy Tech at San Angelo Community Hospital, where he finally retired in June 2018. Paul liked a good book, going to the movies, and most of all, traveling with his wife and earlier with the family. Some of his favorite places were Cloudcroft, NM, Colorado, Branson, Nashville, cruising the Caribbean, St. Louis to visit family, and Bryce Canyon. His favorite, however, was traveling to Las Vegas to see his grandkids. Paul did everything with his brother, Mark, even if it was just to have “coffee”. Paul was an avid music lover. He shared his love of music with his family by taking them to numerous music events. Paul is survived by his wife of 24 years, Ginger, his son Jeremy and his wife Laura, daughter Sarah and her husband Josh, his son Justin, grandchildren Jeremy Jr., Allison and Dakoda, his brother Dan and his wife Anita, Sisters-in-law Carole Brown, Dee Murray (Bill) and Annette Mielke with numerous nieces and nephews. He is survived also by his fur baby, Cookie. They had many great times including their long walks. He is preceded in death by both his parents, his “partner in crime” and brother Mark, Mother-in-law Velma Mielke, who showed him unconditional love and taught him how to make his favorite pumpkin pie.
