To know Paul was to love him. He had many friends. He had a terrific sense of humor, and a love of all things related to the ocean be it fishing, surfing or boating. 

Paul successfully ran the Nevada Motel with his father and then on his own for his entire adult life.

He truly enjoyed the guests and looked forward to seeing them and catching up year after year.

He loved sharing the Nevada experience with his children until it sold in 2021.
