A native of Maurice and a resident of Lafayette for 66 years, Paul graduated from Lafayette High School in 1955 and attended USL (now ULL). He worked in the oil and gas industry, working for Southern Flow Measurements for thirty-seven years until his retirement. Paul loved riding motorcycles, fishing, hunting, camping, traveling with the Cruisin' Cajuns RV Club, and coached little league baseball for fifteen years. He was a jack of all trades, never having to call on anyone to fix things around the house. Paul loved his 1957 Ford T-Bird and his farm, where he enjoyed spending time with his family. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who knew and loved him.
