Paul was Santa at Southland Mall for the past 37 years, looking forward to it every year. He loved the smiles on the children's faces and enjoyed hearing their wish lists. He was also the Easter Bunny. He was a long-term member of the Evergreen Lions Club. Paul was a kind soul who loved gathering with his family during the Holidays. He loved cooking, loved his family, adored his loving wife and was also loved by many. Paul was an upbeat, cheerful, cracking jokes kinda fella, and known for his giggles.
