Paul spent his childhood in Rockville working at the family business and building his love of cars. He graduated from Rockville High in 1962. That fall he went to work with the Bureau of Reclamation in Fontanelle, Wyoming. That is where he met the love of his life, Jeannie Robbins. They were married on February 15, 1965.
Paul and Jeannie had two children and lived in many different places before settling in Bonners Ferry in 1972. Paul enjoyed being in the woods and working with many people in the community, building things out of wood and classic cars.
He had a quick wit, a big heart and an opinion on everything!
Paul is survived by children Gary Karr, Coeur d’Alene, and Jennifer English, Bonners Ferry, grandchildren Jessica Karr, Christopher English and Kelsey English, brother Dave Karr and wife Cheri and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife Jeannie.
