Paul retired from the former AVCO Lycoming, now known as Textron. He was a man of faith and a long-standing member of St. Boniface Catholic Church. He was also a member of the Polish and Harmonia Club.

Musser (Troy) of Jersey Shore; seven grandchildren, Blake, David, Karley, Keith, Anna, James, and Katherine; a great-grandson, Kash; his brother, Dennis Batkowski (Deronda) of Loyalsock; a sister, Joyce Radcliffe (Terry) of South Williamsport; and his loyal dog, Freddie, was a constant source of joy and companionship, staying by his side through the years.
