Paul enjoyed to play golf, and belonged to a local golf group called “The Mulligans”. He also enjoyed his trips to the horse racing track to watch and wager on the horses. He was a big fan of the New York Yankees, as well. In retirement he worked on his golf game and cultivated a love for working in his garden and culinary skills cooking meals for his family.
