Paul trained to become a machinist and took pride in his work at Kaydon and Koppers. Paul made a beautiful home for his family and friends, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all. He was also a skilled jokester, and many have fallen victim to his humor and playfulness. Paul enjoyed spending time with his wife and family. Many memories made during weeknight dinners, holiday gatherings, and many family vacations. One of his favorite locations was Deep Creek Lake. He also found joy in attending his grandkids sports events, spending time with his granddogs, cooking, fishing, and watching movies. He faithfully attended Hampstead Baptist Church and drew strength and comfort from his relationship with his Lord Jesus Christ.

Celebration of Life will be held at Hampstead Baptist Church, 328 Hanover Pike, Hampstead, MD 21074 on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 2 p.m. Light dessert and refreshments will be provided after the service for fellowship with family and friends.
