Paul loved his family, car shows, his show truck, fishing/boating, his many TV shows, relaxing in his super comfy recliner and telling imaginative tales. He had an awesome sense of humor that could cheer up anyone. His favorite pastime was sitting on his back porch enjoying the birds, outdoors, and the occasional baby possum.
