Paul was born April 6, 1942 in Pulaski to the late Ethel Mirabeau Davis and Lecie Dyess Davis. He was a faithful member of Central United Methodist Church. He worked at Jerrel Davis Buick for many years. He then retired to become local radio host, "Dumpster Dawg", at WMOX radio station. He loved his wife and family.
