Paul was always busy! He began working on the Jones family farm at the age of 10 and never stopped working hard.  Paul loved building and remodeling any and everything!  There was never a building that could not be remodeled. Many homes in Lima were built or remodeled by Paul.  As a young man, Paul earned his private plane license and enjoyed many a fly-in breakfast. In his later years, Paul enjoyed traveling all over the US.  Paul and Barb enjoyed many trips to the New England states to see the colors, visits with friends in the mid-West and their yearly winter trip to their home in Florida. In the past few years, Paul and Barb were able to visit grandchildren in Colorado and California.  Sports were always a topic of conversation when you talked with Paul.  He played sports as a young man and enjoyed watching sports as he got older. Paul loved watching all his grandchildren play sports and he was always their number one supporter.  Grandchildren visits to Florida often included a MLB spring training game.  Paul enjoyed any MLB game but told his grandchildren he especially liked a game that the Yankees lost. No matter where he was, Livonia or Florida, Paul had his woodworking shop all set up. He enjoyed making wooden toys, bowls and any wood project his family wanted. Having two or three of every tool was always a must!  When not working in the workshop, Paul was found restoring old tractors.  Anytime he spotted a tractor, especially an old beat-up one, it was an automatic purchase. Paul even cleared the overgrowth of his back lot just a few weeks ago with a restored tractor.

No one had a bigger heart than Paul.  He was always available to help any and every one.  Service calls on many appliances were made at all times of day and night, a helping hand was leant for any project and money given anonymously for anyone who needed a bit of help.  Paul spent many hours working with friends at Vitale Park to create Freedom Point to be sure that it was always in beautiful condition and welcoming to visitors.

Paul’s 84 years were full and he thought life could never be better than right here with his family!  Everyone looked forward to visiting Paul; you were always guaranteed a huge bowl of warm, buttery popcorn fresh from the popcorn machine.  It did not matter if it was after Thanksgiving dinner, Sunday afternoon football game, or an evening baseball game, popcorn was always ready. Paul loved his wife dearly, along with his son and three daughters with all his heart. But his proudest moments were when he talked about his greatest loves his 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Each of them provided Paul with entertainment, laughs, extra tight hugs and love beyond measure! Paul’s love for all his family will forever be in our hearts.

Paul’s family would like to thank Father William Laird and Charles Gardner for their spiritual support and Laurie for her comforting care.
