Worked with Paul at Wellcraft and at Donzi. Paul was always friendly, likeable and an asset to both the companies as well as the community. A really good guy and he will be missed. Our prayers are with Barbara and the family.

Had the pleasure of knowing Paul for over 25 years from our days at Wellcraft, Pro-Line and Donzi. He was one of the most straightforward, practical, dependable and capable people with whom I have ever worked, and I hope he realized how much he was appreciated. And he also played a mean game of gin rummy! With heartfelt condolence, Howard and Pam Bleser

We feel blessed to have not only been co-workers but friends with such a special man. His smile lit up a room and always had time to stop and say hello. He will be sadly missed but not forgotten. Heaven has received a special angel. Prayers go out to Barbara, family, & friends.

Knew Paul since 83' when I joined Wellcraft. One of the best people I ever worked with...always willing to lend a hand through the good, the bad and ugly. Got to see Paul about a week 1/2 ago....we spent two hours remembering the good times and people we shared in the business. I was blessed to have worked and played with Paul.....hope he gets priority tee times in Heaven

He kept at true good humour's mark
The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died.

Paul was a great friend who was always happy with a huge smile. We will miss Paul and are happy to have called him "friend" for so many years. In the marine industry you get to work in different locations with the same great people so our memories of Paul, Barbara, and his sons span decades of our lives. We all grew up together. Miss You now and always. Prayers for all of your family. Rest in peace Friend.

Paul truly was a wonderful man, always there to lend a hand or give a word of encouragement. Working for him at Wellcraft and then Donzi was an adventure, don't think I could of lasted as long as I did without him there! I will miss you always Paul, and will keep your family in my prayers to give them strength and comfort during this very sad time.

Paul will be missed by many acquaintances and friends. He was on o the nicest and most compassionate men I have known. I have many fond memories when we went golfing, which wasn't very often, but I never had a bad shot in his eyes. Thank you for my memories and you will be forever missed.

Paul will be missed by many people. He was one of the nicest men you could ever meet and get to know. He was many things to many people and always a great friend. He was always the cheerleader on the golf course even when you hit a bad shot he would say " THAT WAS A GOOD SHOT ". I will miss giving him crap and I will dearly miss his enthusiasm and presents.
