Paul was one of a dying breed who worked for a single company, IBM, for over 40 years. After beginning his adventure in Poughkeepsie, he advanced after to Rochester, and then a few years later to Yorktown Heights. At this point, he moved the family out of New York to Colorado, where he discovered his a passion for the weather.

After his sons graduated University and High School respectively, Paul and Susan moved to their second Rochester in Minnesota. After a few years working at the AS/400 plant, they began an overseas adventure living, working, and exploring Europe. Though initially Based in Milan, Italy, they quickly moved to Paris, France.

During a bucket list trip to Russia, unfortunately Susan passed away.
In the twilight of his life, to say that Paul lived for Women’s basketball would be an understatement. He was a super supporter of the UCONN women’s and WNBA basketball teams following the sporting news, ensuring he knew what teams were playing when, and watching as many games in person or on TV as possible. Paul spent his last full evening cheering on UCONN alum Brianna Stewart as she led the New York Liberty to an overtime victory over the Dallas Wings.
