He was also a member of the Knights of Colombus.

Together they lived a life full of laughter and joy.

Paul retired from the Fouro Glass Factory Company. He attended Barber School in Huntington, WV and had a Barber Shop in Broad Oaks.  Paul was a quiet man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather who valued time with his family. He loved telling stories of his time in the service and his adventures as a jeep driver for his Company.

He will be greatly missed.
