Welcome aboard, John!
If Paul is still living (or may be) you should not discuss him in the forum. This is a privacy issue and Wikitree is not a place to search for living individuals.
If you know for certain that he is deceased, there may be members who can help you find out more about him. With the limited information you have and the recent timeframe, this will be difficult, however.
To find members who can help, edit this post and add location tags ie Texas.
Good luck.
