Paul was born on November 23, 1938 in Peoria, Illinois to Benjamin and Isabel Siebenthal. Paul was the youngest of 4 boys.  He graduated from Woodruff High School in 1956 and attended Bradley University in Peoria.

Paul met his true love, Bonnie Marie Hogan Dietz, while they were teens, and on April 2, 1960 they married. They spent more than 63 years married, more than 67 in love and remained steadfastly devoted to each other through life’s many ups and downs, losses and gains.  Paul worked in the grocery business for most of his life, starting as a store auditor and working his way up into leadership on a corporate level. He was also a store owner for a time. He culminated his successful career at Affiliated Foods in Amarillo, Texas where he retired as the Vice President of Operations in 2005. He served as the Mayor of Timbercreek Canyon from 1999 - 2003. Paul enjoyed many hobbies over his lifetime including golf, whistling, singing at the top of his lungs, and clearing a dance floor with his adoring wife. He was a dedicated family man who loved and lived for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Because nothing was as important to him, he spent many evenings and weekends attending band concerts, dance performances, sporting events and any other activities where he could cheer on his beloved kids and grandkids.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Alfred, Albert and Benjamin Siebenthal; and two grandchildren, Justin Siebenthal and Briana Nicole Stewart.
