Paul was known for his big heart, infectious smile and joyful laughter. He enjoyed a good laugh and loved playing particle jokes on family and friends.

With Paul, gift giving was always an adventure and you never knew what was underneath the wrapping. He was also willing to help those in need and offered them support whenever possible.

Paul had a great passion for animals and had pets all his life. His pets were his cherished companions and they were treated like royalty.

Paul also enjoyed sports. In his younger years he was an avid athlete and enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, golf and running. He also had a passion for collegiate and professional sports. He enjoyed going to Arizona State University baseball and football games and supported ASU Athletics.

Paul’s biggest passion was his family. He worked hard to provide them with a good life and never left them wanting. He enjoyed coaching or watching his kids play sports, always offering his fatherly advice.

Later, along with his wife Marcelina, he could be seen carrying their lawn chairs to the fields to support his grandkids as they carried on his passion for the game.
