For the next 5 years, he would successfully serve the Lake Tomahawk area not only with groceries, but by also serving as an elected official on the town board.
In Paul’s spare time, he always enjoyed spending time with his children, working on cars, and rescuing Great Danes.

At the young age of 17, Paul was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Through his determination and resilience he never let the disease slow him down. Paul made the heroically and brave decision to have his body donated for medical studies with the hopes that one day there would be a cure for the disease.
