Paul loved riding his 1999 Roadking Harley Davidson and spending as much time as possible with his grandchildren. He loved being a part of the Harley Rendezvous staff for the past 28 years. During that time he was head of staff for campgrounds and traffic, where he made lifelong friendships, including Frank and Antoinette Potter. He was a past chief of the Mariaville Fire Department. Paul will be remembered for his infectious smile, his humorous sarcasm, his willingness to help anyone in need and his devotion to his family and extended family (ILCC). He is survived by his devoted wife, Sherron (Rickson) Lambert. They were married on March 28, 1970. They loved camping with family, riding the Harley, working together as staff at the Harley Rendezvous and concerts held at the ILCC.
