     A longtime private pilot, Paul enjoyed flying wherever he lived. He loved traveling with family and he especially enjoyed his solo trips to Newfoundland and Labrador. He owned a camper van for years and would leisurely visit many remote spots. He also had a passion for and collected Gravely Tractors. Most important to Paul however was spending time with his grandson Sam. Together they often played cars, read books, took rides, told stories, and once Sam got his license they loved driving around together. It was time well spent and the memories were precious.
