Paul was a retired Administrator at the former Trinity Memorial Hospital in Cudahy and a U.S. Army veteran. During his retirement, he enjoyed being a very active member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, being an employee of First Choice Ingredients, playing golf and most of all, spending time with his family. He also took great pride in maintaining his gardens at home. Above all he will be fondly remembered as a shining example of a husband, father, grandfather and good shepherd of the Lord.
