A son of the late Richard Doral and Lorena (Romig) McCartney, Paul was born September 10, 1933 in Monroe Township, Ohio.

Paul graduated from Canton Township High School in 1951. Then at the age of 18, he enlisted with the United States Navy serving during the Korean War. Upon his honorable discharge, Paul continued his education at The Ohio State University earning a degree in Electrical Engineering. In 1994, he retired from the Timken Company, where he was known as “Mac”, as an Electrical Maintenance Foreman after 30 years of service.
