In 1966, Paul started a part time painting and decorating company, which continues successfully today with his son and daughter-in-law, Stephen and Gianna,  at the helm. Helping to ‘beautify the NW corner’ was Paul’s goal!
Paul spent his spare time doing projects around his home and reveling in his passion for his family, which grew as his family grew. He was also involved in area Community Theater and could often be seen backstage with a hammer or paintbrush.
His devotion to his faith was a touchstone for Paul. A communicant of St. Thomas of Villanova Church in Goshen, Paul served as an usher and was a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 13128.
