Mr. Wolfert was employed as a Security Guard at David Lipscomb for 10 years and then took a job as a Security Officer with Vanderbilt University Police. He loved meeting people and helping them find their way around the Medical Center campus. Medical reasons caused him to take an early retirement after 10 years of service at Vanderbilt. Paul met the love of his life, Linda, while at David Lipscomb College. They have lived in both Nashville and Springfield during their 40 year marriage. He enjoyed reading books of all kinds and was an avid sports fan, especially Vanderbilt baseball.
