Paul was a close friend during our High school years and beyond. We enjoyed a love of fast cars and spent many hours fixing cars at his gas station and figuring out how to make them go faster. These were fondly remembered times with many of our close friends from school. Paul will be missed and wish him peace
We are so sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of Paul during our time at Eastridge going for breakfast before auto shop. He was a good friend and will be missed by all who knew him.
Jay,

Talk about one of a kind, he always had the best energy. Always enjoyed talking with you. Thinking of all the lives you touched. Looking forward to celebrating your life with friends and family. Not going to lie, it won’t be the same walking into the sportsman and not seeing your smile.
Rest easy, Pauly!!!
Paul was a great man. He was always so kind and warm ~ even if he was talking about his insurance. I will always appreciate his gentle manner and quick wit. He would often send me a random email at work with a joke in it. It was always appreciated. Heaven has truly gained an angel. I am so very sorry for your loss.
From Paul’s Australian family…….
We are all so deeply saddened by Paul’s passing. We have such fond memories of Paul especially after our 2009 “West Girls Trip to NY”. He showed us such a warm welcome and engaging hospitality while he shared his home, family and friends with his 5 Australian cousins.
To Sherry, Jay, Kevin and families and Dan, Cathy and all Paul’s nieces and nephews our deepest condolences. We feel your pain.
Love Cheryl, Maureen, Lyn and Margaret.
Paul was a great man. He was my friend. Many happy memories with him and his wife Sherry. The hemlock club won’t be the same without him. I will miss seeing him and his great smile. Rest in peace my friend.
I only knew him a young man in High School. But Paul made a lasting impression on me. Everything that was said in his obituary was
