He was an avid Golfer at Sidney Country Club and loved his Wednesday morning league for many years. He enjoyed fishing trips with his son and grandchildren to Canada and always enjoyed the weekend visits from the kids as they grew up.

Our small family took root there and grew in that wonderful small town we now all call home. Son Steven and Grandchildren together will lay dear Paul "Opa" to rest next to his loving wife Maria in the spring of 2019. Paul and Maria "Opa and Oma" will live in our family's hearts forever.
