Ellen, Paula, Mollie..Paul was a kind, caring person who gave not only for his country but his community as well! He devoted many years teaching AARP safe driving classes and training instructors. Paul always wanted everyone to be safe! Paul loved to tell jokes..everyone still asks me about Paul when I teach a class. I will miss him. Paul loved you girls so much!

We are so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. We have missed seeing him at Mass and then at TJ's on Sundays. He always had a smile and a funny story to tell. Our prayers to the family and we are sorry for their loss.
