Upon retirement in 1987, he was made vice president emeritus.
Paul attended Youngstown College, now Youngstown State University, where he was a chemistry major.

An engineering technical manual, which he authored, also found wide spread industrial application and was used as a text book at the University of Idaho College of Mines, the University of Nevada Mackay School of Mines and the Michigan Technological University.
As a result of his varied activities and contributions, he was interviewed by Marquis "Who's Who In Finance and Industry."
