A graduate of Duxbury High School, Paul also attended Northeastern University for Accounting/Finance and Wentworth Institute of Technology for mechanical engineering. Paul was a long time Boston Globe employee until his retirement last year. He worked as a skilled pressman for 20 years. An avid car buff and bicycle rider, he was happiest rebuilding old cars and bikes and was known for always having either a car project underway or bike parts in his living room. He was the family "fix it" guy and always ready to help out with any project when asked. He spent many happy summer days on the waters of Duxbury Bay with his friends and family, swimming and sailing. He will always be remembered by all who knew and loved him for his generosity, kind heart and sense of humor. He was ever willing to help others and was a benefactor to many charities during his lifetime. He touched us all in many ways and will be forever in our hearts and prayers.
