Paul was born in Dallas and lived in the Great State of Texas for 60 years. He was a lover of jazz music and played trumpet in his high school marching and jazz bands. Born with an enormous gift for photography, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Photography/Journalism in 1975 and a Masters of Education degree in Educational Media in 1982. In April 1976, Paul met Mary, and they were married in May 1978, celebrating 48 years this year. They were blessed with two children, Michele (1984) and Scott(1988), and later two grandchildren, Avery(2014) and Nolan(2019). Annual family trips to WDW turned into a move for Paul and Mary to Orlando in 2013 to be closer to both kids and for Paul to begin working front desk at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. An avid sports fan, Paul’s love of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers continued through his entire life, no matter what state he lived in. Paul will be remembered as a devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather. He was creative, yet stoic, and in his moments of levity, we will never forget his silly jokes, smile, and laughter. We love you, Paul, Dad, Grandad
