He also enjoyed traveling abroad with his family and friends. He was a caring person who made an impact on the lives of countless people, both loved ones and strangers alike. Paul loved the ocean, whether scuba diving, fishing, boating, or just hanging out on the beach, especially in the Outer Banks.
