Paul was a kind, generous, and truly lovely person, who adored his family, and they adored him too. He was a caring son and loving brother, as well as an amazing husband, and the perfect Daddy, supporting them in everything they did and brightening up their days with lots of fun and laughter. Paul’s fun loving nature made him the life and soul of any party, and he will be a huge loss to all who had the privilege to meet him, however he most certainly will never be forgotten. Due to the Coronavirus Paul will be remembered in a private family ceremony and laid to rest in Memorial Oaks Cemetery.
