Paul spent his working years living in Mahwah, NJ, working for the Bell Telephone Company. After 30 years of employment Paul and Puddy retired to Barefoot Bay, Florida, where they enjoyed over 30 years of retirement in the sun and sand. Paul was as handy as they come. He could fix anything which was a skill that was much admired by his family and friends.

Paul requested no service and no sadness on his passing. His family will host a celebration of his life in the family home in the near future.
