In Paul’s free time, he absolutely loved to go to the beach- especially the Old Colony Beach in CT. He also enjoyed fishing and listening to Blues music. He was a history buff who loved to learn the ways of the past- particularly his Italian culture, which he was very proud of. Above all, Paul’s greatest passion in life was his family. Spending time with them meant the world to him. He shared a deep love for his parents, wife, children, grandchildren, and all extended family. He was a man with a big heart and lots of love to give. He will be immensely missed by all who knew him.
