Paul enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially his two granddaughters, and two great grandchildren. A few of his favorite hobbies included bowling, golfing, and visiting casinos. He participated in many bowling leagues and was inducted into the Rochester Area Bowling Association’s Hall of Fame on September 21, 2003.
