He also loved muscle cars, and collecting and listening to various types of music. He loved his family dearly, especially his sons and following their activities and sports.

Paul is survived by his two sons, Paul T. Welsh and Jonathon T. Welsh; their mother, Romona Burger, who was also his companion of twenty-five years. He is also survived by his brother and sister Jay R. Welsh and Cindy Gregorio; his half-brother Edward 'Mickey' Welsh. As well as, his nieces and nephews: Samantha Gregorio, Nadine Gregorio, Mark Welsh, Kenny Welsh and Corey Mullen; his great-nieces and great-nephews, Chelsea Scianna, Corey and Dominick Mullen.

Along with his parents, Paul was predeceased by his step-son Ryan Burger; his nephew 'JJ' Welsh; his half-sister Maryanne Berliner. As well as, his two beloved dogs Brady and Dex.

Paul had a contagious laugh. I think he is one of the few that could make my husband laugh to tears. Over the many years of knowing him I learned and saw his soft side,he lived his family dearly. Paul you will be truly missed by anyone who has known you
