Paul was born February 1, 1945 in Mankato to Rudy and Marcella (Bregel) Lamm. He attended SS. Peter and Paul grade school, Loyola High School, and Mankato Vo-Tech, where he studied plumbing.
On October 17, 1964, Paul married June Anderson. They had one daughter, Christine. In 1968, he married Barbara Blanshan, and they were blessed with two more children, Duane and Bonnie.
Paul worked out of the local union until 1975, when he went to work for Morrison-Knudson as a piping supervisor. He worked for them for 25 years before returning to the Mankato area, where he once again worked out of the local union.
Paul was always in demand to give a helping hand with his handyman skills. His last project was remodeling and updating his home in Madelia. You could always count on a smile from Paul or being a victim of one of his pranks.
