In Paul’s younger years, he and Jean enjoyed motorcycle adventures with friends from Hudson.  Paul and Jean spent many years traveling with friends including memorable trips to Hawaii, Aruba and Puerto Rico. He was a proud lifelong member of the Hudson B.P.O.E. 959 Lodge of Elks. Paul loved fishing and golfing in his spare time and was an avid Boston sports fan, especially of the Red Sox and Patriots.  He could often be found watching a western in between naps in his recliner. He always looked forward to gathering with family and friends and cherished all the moments he spent with Jean, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His unique sense of humor is a memory that will live on in all those who knew and loved him.
