Paul was a proud U.S. Army veteran that served during the Korean War. Once back home he started working for General Foods and retired after 35 years. As a member of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and Tillers international he spent much time taking any and all classes available having to do with drawing, painting, sculpting, glass blowing, leather tooling, broom making and wood carving. However his main hobby was spending countless hours in his smithy and garage blacksmithing. He loved his family and spending time with his grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Mary Lou Carlson; and a daughter, Linda Carlson. Surviving are his children, Karry Carlson, Daniel Carlson and Cindy (Thad) Homister; grandchildren, Haylee Homister and Genel Homister. A celebration of life will be held a later time.
