After completing high school, Paul enlisted in the United States Airforce on February 2, 1959, and was honorably discharged on February 1, 1967. After his discharge Paul worked for Boeing Aircraft, Lockheed Marietta, TWA, retiring from Ozark Airlines after 19 ½ years and retiring from TWA after 9 ½ years. He was a member of the American Legion Post 1000 in Jefferson City, MO.

He is preceded in death by his grandson Paul Loren Boyd and daughter-in-law, Phyllis Ann Boyd.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and support staff at Missouri Baptist Hospital who attended to Paul during his 80 day stay in their CVR Unit. They left no stone unturned.
