He was best known for being a generous, kind, and caring person. Making strong connections with everyone he met. Above all, Paul loved all of his family and lived for them. He will be remembered for his love of golf, lasting friendships, and fighting spirit. And despite his battle with cancer even in his final days you could still find him outdoors on a bicycle, swimming in his pool with grandchildren, and going on walks with his beloved rescue dog Cotton.
He was a devoted husband, father, brother, friend, and confidant. His passing will leave a void that cannot be restored. He was there when you needed him the most. He was actively present in his community, grateful for anyone who would pass the time with him, and spread a message of love and compassion everywhere he went. He will be eternally loved and missed by all who knew him.
