Paul and his wife, Darlene Miller, have been together for 28 years and were married at the Miller Family Cottage at Spider Lake on August 30th, 2014.

Paul had three boys, Matt Town, Stephen Town and Tyler Town. In addition, he had three grandchildren Everly, Hazel and Mack. Paul loved all of them very much.

He was also a man of many talents. He loved spending time in his garage, especially restoring classic cars including Corvettes, Camaros and his current project - a 1968 Chevy Pickup.
