Paul worked as a lumberjack in Ely and also spent time at Univac and Roto Rooter. Most of his career was dedicated to Slawik Properties. Alongside his full-time job he owned several residential and commercial properties. He had a knack for fixing things! He even built the house in Little Canada for Lura himself.
He loved fishing and camping at Voyager Village. Trips to the Grand Ole Opry for classic country music were special to him too. National parks were favorites along with attending Catholic church every Sunday. Paul enjoyed playing craps in Vegas at Sam’s Town. His happiest moments were dancing with Lura to live classic country music.
