Paul is active in the community and a member of several organizations which include: The Lacey Moose, served as treasurer and governor, the Lacey Republican Club and member of the Executive Board, the SOCR Pac, president in 2020 and is the committeeman for the 12th District in Lacey
Township (Ocean County). Paul also serves as an alternate commissioner to the Lacey MUA.
Paul had a number of nicknames, Pauli Walnuts, Walnuts or just Nuts. He lived life to the fullest and could always be found on the waters up and down the jersey shore on his jet ski. If not on his jet ski you could find him on the roads with his Indian motorcycle and when the weather turned cold and the snows came, snowmobiling in the Adirondacks of NY. His football team was the JETS and had a true love for jets, attending airshows to see the Thunderbirds and his favorite Blue Angels.
Paul loved life and lived each day to its fullest. He always would say a person got their monies worth if they passed away and were up in years. He did not get quantity, he got the Quality, every minute of every day was lived. In his memory do not let an opportunity pass you by to enjoy life.
In lieu of flowers a donation to your favorite charity in memory of Paul would be appreciated.
