Daniel was born June 23, 1942 in Dorchester to Henry and Florence (Raymond) Paul. He grew up in Stetsonville and graduated from Medford High School in 1960. He served in the U.S. Army from 1960 until his honorable discharge in 1964. Following his military service, he met a lovely young lady, Theresa Drinka, at a dance at the Dorchester Hall. The two were united in marriage on Jan. 8, 1966.
Daniel worked for a short time for the Taylor County Highway Dept., then purchased a dairy farm
1942-2022
in Little Black, where he and Theresa farmed and raised their four children. They retired from farming in 2000. Dan then went to work for Welcome Dairy part time.
To say Dan loved hunting and fishing is an understatement. He enjoyed many hunting trips out west, and fishing trips to Canada with his sons. Memories cherished by all.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Theresa; children, Craig (Jill) Paul, Loretta (Steven) Koski, Ann (Toby) Devine, Aaron (Mandy) Paul, all of Medford; a brother, Richard “Dick” (Joanne) Paul of Portland, Ore; a sister, Patsy Meier of Medford; grandchildren, Ryan and Brett Paul, Courtney, Ryley, Carly, and Logan Koski, Tristan and Abby Devine, Eva and Jacob Paul; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Clifford (Lois) Paul, Isabelle Frymark, Jimmy (Lorraine) Paul, Donna (Sam) Nasrallah, Geraldine (Harvey) Halverson; and brother-in-law, Kenwood Meier.
Memorials are appreciated and may be designated to Hope Hospice or to Meals on Wheels in Daniel’s honor.
