A warrior to the end. Uncle Paul always seemed larger than life, invincible, a formidable foe, a giant teddy bear of a man, with a tender heart and a wicked sense of humor, someone to look up to. He was the most fun uncle ever, teasing, playing, challenging all the youngsters. Memories of water fights, pranks, water skiing, boat rides, BBQ's...he made every vacation fun. All the nieces and nephews adored him. And the never ending home improvement projects! He was never idle, always industrious and creative, generous with his time and expertise.
We loved him and he will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace.
