He then worked for General Motors as a Warehousemen for 30 years until he retired. Like his wife Jackie, Paul was active in his community through various organizations.

Paul was and is loved deeply by his family. His presence was engaging and hard to ignore, everyone knew when “big boy” came into the room. It is a presence that cannot be replaced and will be deeply missed.
