Paul was born in Port Dover where his love of the lake began. He worked as a young teenage boy on the Lakers. Later in life Paul worked many years at Eaton Yale. No matter where the road to life took him, it was sure to be accompanied with friendship and laughter. He knew how to take a joke and how to deliver one… although not at the most appropriate time.
Paul had a huge heart and loved nothing more than being with his family. He also was a huge fan of wrestling, listening to the oldies and watching hockey. His favourite team was the Montreal Canadians.
