Paul David Prybil was born June 12, 1941, in Davenport, Iowa, to Paul and Margaret (Gerdts) Prybil. He was raised by his mother and stepfather, Richard Reed. He graduated from Davenport Central High School, where he played basketball and track, and went on to serve in the U.S. Army Reserves. He married Roberta Hanson on March 4, 1967, at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Davenport.
