Pavel was born in Belarus (former Soviet Union) on March 17, 1933. He was the youngest of 7 children. He married Nadezhda Brutskaya on November 27, 1960, a blessed union that lasted for 63 years.

Pavel dedicated his life to the Lord and his family. He worked long hours to provide for his family. He will be remembered for his humble and gentle manners. Pavel was a long-serving deacon of a local church in Belarus.
