A life-long resident of New Hampshire, Paul was a graduate of Oyster River High School, Class of 1970 and also attended the University of New Hampshire.

Paul was a dedicated father, son, brother and uncle. The eldest of six, Paul set the benchmark for true brotherhood and we will never forget his steadfast and unwavering dedication to his entire family.
