Paul drove truck for TriLine out of Canada then met Elaine in the states and moved here and went to work for WTB, they were a team. He then went to work for BNSF until his passing.

His sense of humor and big hugs will be missed by many. He had so many friends who loved him and he will be missed by his family and his in-laws.
