Many of his students maintained contact with him after graduation. He was a proud fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates. Like his dad, he loved the game of golf. He had a passion for Civil War history that resulted in his owning a great deal of memorabilia. Paul was an excellent pool player and loved to help others play the game. He loved books and enjoyed sitting in the sun reading three to four books a week.

Debbie as we recently discussed Paul was passionate about his loves in life. Paul’s 4 most talked about loves were Football (Steelers), Baseball (I think he leaned towards the old days Pirates), Golf and You and not necessarily in the order above. To get to know Paul was like being part of his family. Although it had been half a dozen years since I last saw Paul in person it was always great to swap emails with him after a weekend of football or some other usually sporting event. I know I’m going to miss those emails even more than I think. I’m going to miss him.
So sorry for your (our) loss.
