Over the years, Paul's career moved the family to California, Oregon, and Nevada. In 1985, the family moved to Illinois where Paul and Ann would stay for 30 years.

Following his retirement, Paul and Ann served missions in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Montreal. Together they served as president and matron of the Chicago, Illinois temple. In 2018, Paul and Ann moved to Layton, Utah.

Paul we will miss you..but thankfully we had you in our lives for a moment in time to enjoy, love and be loved by. To be strengthened by as you shared your testimony and witness of Jesus Christ. You loved and lifted the missionaries as we served together in Chicago doing the Lord's missionary work.
Then you and Ann continued on in many other callings, missions, or in other settings serving Heavenly Father, blessing others as you brought them God's truths. Your witty personality, your tender caring for the one and your love for your dear Ann and your family. What a great legacy you have left for each of us to remember and follow. Your examples of faith, service and loving will always be a dear and tender memory for us. We know Paul you are already busy blessing those on the other side of the veil. May the Lord bless and keep those dear family members here on earth as they now go on without you...May they find peace in their journey and strength in their own dedicated service to the Lord in memory of you, doing good and being good. Love forever. Gordon and Geri

Such fond memories from the times as children at your home on the avenues; a chance meeting at Little America just after we were married; and renewing our relationship this last year at the cousin lunches. We will miss you - Jud & Linda
