He attended St. Stanislaus School and graduated from Cotter High School. Paul was known for his love of and respect for nature. He was often seen biking around Winona and hiking the many bluffs in southeastern Minnesota. He climbed Sugar Loaf many times, Paul had an adventurous spirit that took him many places in the United States as well as China and several countries in Europe. He biked in all of these places and was grateful for the beautiful gifts that God provided. But Paul's greatest adventures were on the water canoeing on his beloved Mississippi River. He set a goal for himself to canoe 100 rivers, Several years ago, he achieved that dream. He canoed all over the country including several in Tennessee. He worked for many years at Wenonah Canoe and subsequently these last years at WinCraft.

He was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Audrey Jaszewski, his brother-in-law Andy Kuklinski, his maternal and paternal grandparents, many aunts and uncles, several Lamoreux and Jaszewski cousins and his good friend Mike Mercier.
