Thank you for your service

Paul served in the armed forces. We honor that service here.

Life story

He was a proud Papa and father to more children than we can count on two hands! He has passed on his love and wisdom to all of us.

Anyone who knew Paul, knew that he was the ultimate handyman. You name it, he had a tool to fix it! We could always come to him for advice with car trouble, home maintenance issues, or life advice. Even greater than his practical skills, were his love and generosity toward his family. He would never let anyone go without – always willing to help out financially. He would give a “loan” that he would promptly write off the next Christmas.

He retired as a Captain in the Marine Corps after over 20 years of service in 1990 and retired in 2013 from civilian contract work with the Marine Corp.

Paul, Honey, Papa, Dad, Paullywog, Dejournettski, Pauly Wally Ding Dong, we have so many memories of you we will cherish forever. We love you so much and will miss you always!
