Paul was born on August 8, 1928 in Craig, Colorado to Ottie Eldora and Dora Prather Talkington. He was the youngest of 11 children, and adored by his family. They all enjoyed the out doors. He served his country for 2 years as a sergeant in the Korean War. He was a hard worker having worked for Union Carbide for 25 years, Lander Senior Center, and was an officer in the American Legion Post 33 Lander, for many years. He married his first love in 1953, Margaret Ellen Puffe. They were together for 25 years and had 3 children. In 1985 he married his second love Kay Johnson. They were married for 34 wonderful years. He loved to fish, hunt, and play horse shoes. His specially made horse shoes were one of his prized possessions. He seldom lost at horse shoes. He also spent many hours playing cards and games with family and friends. He was a lighthearted, kind, caring, funny, and enduring man, which helped garner his nick name Ferd or Ferdie after Ferdinand the Bull.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife Margaret; 10 siblings; and 1 great-granddaughter.
Paul is survived by wife, Kay; children, Theresa Talkington (Wade) LeBeau, Edward (Cindy) Talkington, Angie Talkington (Joe) Lynch, 11 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren.
