Paul was a talented auto mechanic, and could fix just about anything that was broken. He enjoyed wood working, and canvas painting, visiting estate and yard sales. Paul enjoyed helping others in anyway he could. He was strong in his catholic faith, and was proud to share it with all. He was an avid Miami Dolphins fan, and wouldn't hold back his cheers when they'd play!
He was a kind soul, who was always willing to help those in need. Above all, he was a family man who loved nothing more than spending time with his family and grandchildren whom he loved and cherished so much.
