Paul was loved and admired by all who knew him. He was quick to offer a smile and lend a hand when anyone needed him. He was an avid beer connoisseur and would be happy to share his new discoveries with everyone. He was a loving uncle who spent much free time with his nephews. He also had a love of the sea and would hop on a vessel any chance he had. He spent most of his career as an auto mechanic and service writer and used his expertise to help family and friends in need.
He was an active member of St. John of the Cross Alex Selmel Knights of Columbus Council where he was recently named Knight of the Month. Paul’s final gift was as an Organ Donor. He was honored by LOPA (Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency) and the staff at Ochsner Baptist Hospital for sharing the gift of his body to those in need.
