Paul played football in both grade school and high school. His football career ended when he developed a malignant brain tumor the summer between his junior and senior year in high school. Radiation cured his cancer but not without the loss of his thick curly hair He was invited to join the seniors on the football field during senior recognition night. When they called Paul’s name everyone stood up and applauded him as he removed his cap to reveal his bald head. His life was not without further medical problems. He suffered three strokes and then liver failure towards the end of his life.
Paul loved his family and kept us all laughing with his jokes and witty come-back lines His nephews adored him and always looked forward to seeing him. He enjoyed playing board games and an occasional poker game with his buddies. His contagious smile would break the frown on anyone’s face.
Paul, your life was way too short. You are loved and will be truly missed. You will always be our “P J”. Rest in peace.
