Paul spent his time entertaining his friends and family. His hobbies were playing with his big boy toys, fast cars, trucks, motorcycles, and boats. If he wanted it, he was sure to get it. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, fun bets, and living life on the river. He was an over-achiever. His favorite quote was: "I've exceeded my expectations by far." He had a productive career in the oil field that led him to be a successful oil company man with an independent owned company, Polk Consultants.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Shanda Kay, sons: P.J., and Nathan (NaBob); daughter: Katelyn (Ellie Mae); brother, Ricky Polk; granddaughters: Ellie (his "Bug") and Melanie (Mel-Mel); his mother-in-law Minnie Allen, father-in-law Kenneth, an abundance of life long special friends, and his very special friend, Stella (fur baby).
