I was born and raised in Wilton Manors and visited his shop in Searstown whenever I could.

One day she told me some stories about Mohammad Ali who they knew. I won an award at the Colon Get-Together convention. When Paul saw me go onstage to receive the award he yelled "Hey the fat kid won" I was actually thrilled to hear that from him.

Well there is no other word for it, it was Magical. He helped me so much with my magic and I bought a lot from him over the years I could call him up and we would have some great conversations. I attended a lot of lectures of he gave and he never disappointed . Always entertaining , what a guy. I really Loved him and I...
