He enjoyed working with people and achieving so many other accomplishments.

Paul loved helping others, he was a very kindhearted and easy going person. He would do anything for you and loved his kids. Paul loved unconditionally! He enjoyed his video games and spent hours at a time mastering the game.  He always had a smile on his face when it came to doing things with the family, friends and his dog name FAITH.
