They shared 29 beautiful years together raising their six children in Florida, Colorado and finally here in Southwest Michigan. He provided for his family by working as a stone mason for most of his life, as well as a butcher and business owner, bringing an intense passion and creativity to both professions. He is credited with sharing his great love and appreciation of music to all of his children and grandchildren, many of whom are musicians.

A celebration of Paul’s life organized by his children will take place in the spring. For a more lasting memory, donations in Paul’s name can be made out to Paws for Humanity in Three Oaks or Sarett Nature Center in Benton Harbor.
