Paul enjoyed being outdoors. He loved hunting, going to the river hills on his uncle’s land, and a good round of golf. He took great pride in his work as a carpenter; making sure each project he did was as perfect as he could make it. He always appreciated a good joke. He truly cared for his family and friends. His walk with Christ was deeply personal, he witnessed God’s handiwork in the creatures and nature all around us.
