Paul was hands down the smartest and kindest man that I will have the pleasure of having known. I met his entire family when I was only six years old. To be honest until then I had literally no friends, I was new to my neighborhood and as socially awkward as a child could get, in my eyes they will always be like family, and Paul was always there for family. He gave myself and so many people a place to get on their feet, and he always had the right advice to give, even if nobody would listen. He would do anything in his power to help of he could and felt that it was right. He even helped me to shut down a $3000 at&t fraud case against me, which I had been fighting for over a year. No matter what life placed in his path he had a smile at the start of the next day and a joke to put things in perspective. I loved him like a father, I knew him more than my own or my step father. He was a good man and friend, and a great father, husband, and grandfather. He will be missed.
