He will be remembered for numerous things, always up before dawn, fly fishing before work and he loved to listen to the birds and watch the wildlife. Paul was most at home on horseback riding the trails and in the woods he so loved from his family farm in Brooksville, Florida. He and his family moved to the Sunshine State in 2003. Paul will always be remembered for his extreme love of animals and nature. He found great comfort in Native American spirituality and singing to his animals. Paul's handcrafted leather works will always be family treasures. Donations in Paul's memory may be made to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
