Paul would tell any friend or stranger about his three wonderful children "his loves of his life". His friends always said "if he's not talking about his daughter he's talking about his sons". Paul always talked about how proud he was of his daughter for joining the military and how proud of his sons he was for pursuing college degrees.

Paul loved assisting others with the help of his belief in the Holy Spirit.
