In 1969 he was transferred to Jamaica where he spent three-and-a-half years with Kaiser constructing a bauxite plant.  Paul was a resident of Walnut Creek, CA, for many years. He looked forward to his annual summer family vacations in Yosemite and going fishing at Lake Shasta.

He returned to his roots in New England and lived for the last several years in Worcester.  He is survived by his children, Karen Norton Sibley Parlette and Paul Petersen Sibley, both of Walnut Creek, CA, and his three grandsons and two granddaughters.
