Hrvol of Bolivia, NC. Paul attended the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Mattoon, IL. He retired from RR Donnelley in 2008 as a quality supervisor after forty-six years of dedicated service. He was an active board member of the Embarras Area Water District. For many years he held a membership at the Charleston Moose Lodge. Paul was a dedicated and committed member of the community in which he lived. Above all, Paul took immense pride in operating the family farm and timberland. It was within these acres that his interests and love of nature flourished. Paul spent countless hours deer hunting and fishing. His skills as an outdoorsman were only surpassed by his passion for sharing these experiences with his sons and grandchildren. Traveling was yet another of Paul's joys. Alongside his beloved Janice, they journeyed the country in their motorhome, embracing the beauty from Outer Banks in North Carolina to the serene landscapes of Maine and Nova Scotia, the natural springs of Arkansas, and the tranquil waters of Kentucky Lake. Paul's legacy is not merely in the life he led but in the love he spread, the community he supported, and the natural beauty he preserved. He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
