Paul was employed as a steel mill worker for J&L Steel in Aliquippa, PA, for over 19 years. Afterward, he worked for Jones Air Conditioning and Heating for several years before he retired from Green’s Taxi Service in McDonald, PA.
Paul enjoyed bowling on three different leagues at Sheffield Lanes trying to break the 7/10 split that his teammates always joked about with him. In his spare time, he enjoyed working in the yard, gardening, and doing laps in his swimming pool. Paul also helped plow snow from the neighbors’ driveways during the winter months. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They always put a smile on his face. Paul was a member of Saint Isidore the Farmer Parish where he assisted with collections during mass.
