After school he worked on the family farm until 1937 when he moved to Delia. When he arrived in Delia at the age of 18, he started work as the manager of the Farmers Elevator, which was owned by his uncle, Frank Matyak. In 1939, after moving the rest of the family from South Dakota, Paul’s dad purchased the Delia Lumber Co., next to the elevator. Paul became the manager of the lumber yard, working in both of these positions until he was drafted into the U.S. Army on April 20, 1942. His military career took him from Fort Leavenworth to Camp Hood, Texas, to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., before he was shipped overseas. His unit embarked to England on Sept. 13, 1944, having served in the European Theater, which took him to Holland and then on to Germany. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge towards the end of the war in 1945. He journeyed back across the ocean on the Queen Mary and arrived in New York City on July 2, 1945, returning to Delia on July 11, 1945, which was just two weeks before his wedding. Paul was honorably discharged from the Army at San Luis Obispo, Calif., on Oct. 21, 1945.

There are many memories of Paul helping neighbors or friends in need, anytime day or night. Paul and Genevieve shared many wonderful memories with friends including dances at the Bohemian Hall, where often their dancing would make others stop and stand back to watch.
