Paul was born on March 2, 1942, in Grand Forks, ND, to Miles and Corrine Rubin.

He was raised in Grand Forks and attended Roosevelt Elementary and South Jr High schools before graduating from Grand Forks Central in 1960, where he excelled in basketball. He married Rebecca Evenson in 1965, and they had two children, Brenna and Joseph. Paul also played competitive softball and even participated in the Pan-Am Games. He continued to support GFC and UND sports throughout his life. Paul was a switchman for Burlington Northern where he worked for 30 years before retiring at 60 years old.

Paul enjoyed a simple life, and especially being with his family...he was dedicated to them. His family was particularly blessed by his acts of kindness, care and love. Paul was a quiet man but he was a fixture around town. He loved North Dakota. He was always described as a friendly guy people liked to visit with. He usually talked about sports and the weather, and how proud he was of his family.

Paul will be greatly missed by his loved ones, especially by his wife, Rebecca; their two children, Brenna Miles (son-in-law, Scott Miles) & Joseph (Jennifer Fewless); his grandson, Reagan (Miles) 14; and his twin sister, Rosalie (Sanders).

He is preceded in death by his parents, Miles and Corrine; and his brother, David.
