Paul was a 1972 graduate of Lakota High School and a member of St. John's United Church of Christ. He was well known for being a church organist. Paul enjoyed time spent with his grandkids.

Paul dedicated his life to the betterment of Seneca County and its surrounding communities through decades of selfless public service, civic leadership and agricultural excellence. He began his public service journey as one of the youngest township trustees in Jackson Township, where he served for 17 years. Following his 17 years as trustee, he continued to impact the region as executive director of Regional Planning for 13 years, leading vital planning initiatives and contributing to the responsible growth and development of the area until his retirement from that position. Not to shy away from service, Paul then began to serve the youth by becoming a school bus driver for Lakota and Bettsville schools for five years. He was then called again to public office when he assumed the position of Seneca County Treasurer. He served the county with diligence and integrity for a total of seven years, in addition to his governmental service. Paul served as Farm Bureau's organizational director for 12 years and continued his advocacy for agriculture on the State Farm Bureau Board for many years. He was a dedicated full-time farmer for more than 30 years and started a grain-hauling trucking company, Caples Creek Trucking. It is now operated by the second generation of the family. He officially retired from his position as Seneca County Treasurer, August 31, 2025, bringing a close to an extraordinary career marked by humility, hard work, and steadfast devotion to public service.
