Paul was my classmate at Central Catholic. He had the best attitude, open and generous to everybody, and I mean everybody. Paul had a kind of dry sense of humor like he always had something up his sleeve, but often just kept it to himself. But you always wondered it was! His good-natured personality was unmistakable. He was someone with whom you'd like to simply hang out.
Recently, I was impressed to read about what a strong, loving family man Paul was. His legacy will definitely live on. My deepest sympathy to his family.
