He retired from Trussville Police Department with more than 30 years of service. He also worked as an agent for the DEA Task Force. After retirement, Paul worked part time for the Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama. Mr. Skaggs was an avid hunter and loved catfishing at Lake Martin. He also loved going to his farm where he enjoyed riding his tractor and maintaining his hunting plots. He was a city boy until his wife, Michelle, changed him into a country boy. He could fix anything and if he didn't know how, he would research it and find out how. Paul was preceded in death by his parents James Alford and Charlotte Skaggs. Mr. Skaggs was a loving husband, father, best friend and PeePaw to his grandchildren.
