Paul Warren Bridwell

Paul worked various jobs throughout his life: butcher, truck driver, oilfield deck hand and farmer. Farming was his true calling he continued until health and age prohibited it.

He is survived by his daughters, Paulo O’Brien, Judy Taylor and son-in-law, Larry Taylor, five grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren and eleven great-great grandchildren.
