Paul lived and breathed the Soap Box Derby 24/7. The Derby has lost a true legend of the derby. He accomplished what many only dreamed of. His daughter Joan won the All American Soap Box Derby Championship and so did his son Mark. His driver Megan also won and Mark's driver Ayva also won the big one. Paul also loved NASCAR and the McKinley Bulldogs. He retired from his business, Paul's Precision Automotive in 2017. He will be truly missed by the Soap Box Derby nation. Paul will also be missed by his buddies, Derek Fitzgerald, Lowell and Steve. We are requesting those who attend the Tuesday service to wear Soap Box Derby, NASCAR or McKinley apparel.
