Paul was active in St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson where he served on the Building and Grounds Committee. Paul Dienemann was also a member of the Lakesiders where he enjoyed dining out with friends. He loved sports cars, especially convertibles. Paul was a passionate world traveler. He began exploring immediately after high school by spending the summer in Hawaii and continued his entire life. He has traveled to every inhabited continent.
