Born in Wyoming on Jan. 12, 1931, Paul was the son of Joseph and Mary Hiznay. He was raised in Wyoming and graduated from the Wyoming Memorial High School with honors.

I was a young salesman at Union Carbide years ago and I greatly admired Paul. He would visit the regional sales offices and, in front of the entire office bestow the "Hiznay Hero Medal" (a trinket consisting of a red, white and blue around-the-neck strap from which dangled a nondescript profile of a man wearing a laurel) to a salesman who had just closed a significant piece of business. I was fortunate to receive several of them, which I still have to this day. Paul was an inspirational mentor and a great person. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences.
