Paul worked many years as a Rotogravure pressman before changing professions, due to plant closures, and retired from Montgomery County Water Services as a laborer.

Paul was a proud Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. While serving in the 3rd Tank Battalion, 3rd Marine Division he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan & Camp Fuji before being honorably discharged.

Paul loved his family and was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He was an extremely talented craftsman and was the first person who was called when something needed fixed. Paul had a wonderful personality, a large laugh and enjoyed a good joke, watching the Cleveland Browns, Notre Dame & Penn State football, tinkering in his workshop, playing cards and fishing in Michigan with friends.

The family would like to give special thanks to the Hospice doctors and nurses who took such wonderful care of Paul while he was there and to dear friend, Jeannie Trace and nephews, James, Chris & Jeff Brookshire and Gerry, Matt & Ted Gustin. It took a village and you were ours.
