Paul was born on January 28, 1930, at Eskridge, Kansas, to Elmer and Bessie(Wiseman) Doty. Paul attended the rural country school at Eskridge. Paul moved to Nebraska in 1949 and met Caroline Lahmann. They were married on March 19, 1950, at Salem Lutheran Church in Fremont. Two children were born to this union, Beverly and David. Caroline preceded him in death in 1989. On January 29, 1992, Paul married Delores Winter in Fremont, Nebraska, and gained five step-children to make his life even fuller.

Paul was employed for many years at the Fremont Hospital. He enjoyed working at the hospital with the many employees and gained many friends throughout his years there.

Paul loved his beloved Huskers, eating at Keno, selling Big Rick BBQ sauce for his nephew, reminiscing about the earlier days of his youth, and visiting with people and making their friendships.

"Bev, David, Delores.
Our sympathy, love and prayers at this difficult time.
We have very special memories from all the years that Suzanne, Jay and Kevin had the Doty's as their baby sitters. The Doty's were a very special part of our family.
May God put his loving arms around you and help you through this difficult time. Love Ken and Marion
