Paul was a pillar of Wall Township and surrounding towns, known by many, loved by all.

He served in the U.S. Army, tour of Vietnam, and was a member of the VFW.
Paul is remembered by many as a fun loving guy from home parties with family. He enjoyed going to the racetrack with Cathy and Denis Kane “COME ON DUCK” (a horse that he bet on and won). He enjoyed wet downs and celebrating with the local fire departments, New Year’s Day firehouse hopping, fishing and waterskiing on ‘Sweet Poly’ mom’s boat in the Shark River, and partying on Belmar docks with friends.
To some he was a big, rugged man, to others a gentle giant with a big heart.
Till we meet again… Love you!!!
A celebration of life to be announced in the future in Wall, N.J.
