Paul was born July 6, 1945, in Temperance, Michigan. Paul James Bettinger was always wild at heart. In his younger years he spent time hunting and fishing the land that he shared with friends in Evart, Michigan, but his true passion was motorcycles which he enjoyed riding for many years.
In his Life, Paul honed his talents in siding and custom trim work and successfully ran Bettinger siding for 50 years. He used his skills to restore his barns and build a lift garage on his multiple properties. Later in his years, Paul found a love for classic car shows and was the proud owner of two 55’ Ford F150’s.
Born a biker-boy, Paul always lived by his own rules.
Paul is leaving behind his wife and business partner Dorothea Bettinger, his stepson Erik Spychalski, and his grandson Leon Spychalski.
A celebration of Paul’s life will be held at his Whiteford Center home on August 14, 2022, at 2:00 PM. All are welcome.
