siblings. Paul attended Madison High School, Lee Jr. College and Southwest Texas University

Texas. If you knew Paul, you knew that he was a dedicated, loyal, compassionate husband,
father and friend. He was straightforward and steady, and was always available to those who
needed him. Paul enjoyed attending sporting events, especially his daughters’ basketball
games. He never missed a game and spent countless hours in the gym and in the truck taking
his daughters and their teammates all over the state to play. Paul loved to reminisce about
previous games and never forgot any of the statistics of the game. He loved to fish, hunt, work
in the yard, and take long golf cart rides with his favorite passengers, Barley and Charlie. Paul
was inducted into the Texas State Hall of Honor in 2009 for his basketball accomplishments and
unwavering support of Texas State Athletics. Paul the “Bud Man” worked for Brown
