He was a man of unlimited talents and hobbies, some of which included; Trains, Antique Cars, Trucks and motors, Economy Engines, Gardening, Electrical work, Carpentry, Woodworking, Welding, Izaak Walton League of America, and the list could go on. Paul loved nothing more than the challenge of rebuilding or fixing something others would simply replace. He always said, ?If man built it, man could take it apart. ?Paul lived everyday to its fullest and never wasted a minute. He adored his wife Kathy, whom he still called his ?sweetie?, and they spent endless hours together improving their home and garden the way they always dreamed. He had an enormous amount of pride for his children, Zane and Melanie, and loved playing around like a kid with his Grandchildren. His perfect day would be a long day of yard work with the neighbors, followed by sitting down at his pond, a cold drink in hand, chatting with his friends and family. A Celebration of Life for Paul will be held Friday, July 13, 4 pm, at the Izaak Walton League of America Conservation Farm. 20601 Izaak Walton Way, Poolesville MD, 20837.
