Paul was so friendly, always smiling and clowning his way through a crowd. At our family gatherings I remember how proud everyone was of him and his accomplishments. I also remember that he always gave my brother money and gave me the hugs. He was the coolest, older cousin to us.
Cousin Paul, you will be forever loved and never forgotten!
