  	Rev. Paul Herman Hild (alias Cowboy Smiley) of Springfield, Mo., passed into the presence of his Lord at 2 a.m. on February 23, 2010, at 92 years of age. He was born April 9, 1917, in Hoisington, Kansas. Paul was the fourth of six siblings (Miriam, Christian, Irene, Paul, Adolph, and Elizabeth) born to Albert and Gertrude Hild, all of whom have preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, Myrtle; his only child, Cheri Moore (Springfield); three grandchildren, Rachael Lenz (Kirkland, Wash.) Royce Moore (Columbia, Mo.), Ryan Moore (Springfield, Mo.); and four great-grandchildren. Paul grew up in Fargo, N.D., where his family resided from the time he was 8 years of age. He graduated from North Central Bible Institute in 1936 and was ordained with the Assemblies of God church in 1939. Nearly all of Paul's ministry was spent holding kid's crusades at churches across North America. He held meetings in 48 states, and 8 Canadian provinces. His kids' crusades followed a western theme. He called them All Kids Roundups and was known affectionately as Cowboy Smiley. Paul enjoyed sports of all kinds and followed his favorite teams diligently - especially the North Dakota State Bison. He also cheered enthusiastically for his grandsons at their high school and college basketball games. Paul is remembered for his passion for serving the Lord, his love for children of all ages, and the practical jokes he played on everyone. He contributed to the community by serving as the Battlefield Mall Santa Claus from 1970 to 80. After 52 years of full-time ministry, Paul semi-retired in 1989. Until moving from his home to the Maranatha retirement village in 2004, he spent most his time gardening, taking daily swims at the YMCA, and attending local sports events. He has been a member of Central Assembly of God since 1969. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, in Maranatha Chapel, with burial in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, preceding the funeral.
