Paul could accomplish anything he set his mind to do. He had a brilliant mind and could calculate just about any math equation in his head. Paul enjoyed spending time with his family. He had an easy smile and wonderful sense of humor. He loved sports, especially basketball and Nascar. Paul was loved by so many and will be dearly missed by all.
We love you and miss you so very much….
