His predeceased parents, Julia and Carl "Bob" Huffey were early developers of Las Vegas, arriving in town in the 1920's.  Paul attended the Fifth Street Grammar School, John S.

He was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity and graduated with a degree in secondary education in 1961. Paul returned to Las Vegas and replaced the future Governor of Nevada Michael O'Callaghan as the government teacher at Basic High School in Henderson where Paul taught for the next 11 years. In 1972, Paul left teaching to get his realtor's license, and his first job was working at Levy Realty. He continued to work in real estate until his retirement in 2007. Paul was a loyal booster of UNR and UNLV sports. He was a founding member of UNLV's Courtsiders and the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity in Las Vegas. In 1983, Governor Richard Bryan appointed Paul chairman of the Nevada Ethics Commission. Paul also kept track of all of us 56ers and coordinated our reunions for many years!  Paul's later years were spent traveling and enjoying his Summerlin home.
