Paul was an avid sports fan and passionate golfer. His love for sports began at Scarsdale High School where he played quarterback on the football team. Over the years, he continued to support the SHS football program through fundraising, alumni events and remained close friends with his coaches and teammates. Paul also loved the game of golf and played for many years with friends, family and business colleagues. One of his many life's pleasures was coaching his children's sports teams and attending games over the years. He encouraged his children to experience being a part of a team and the importance of sportsmanship.

Paul also loved to plan vacations, travel and spend time by the ocean, either it be with family in Florida or Cape Cod. He often spoke of his adventures with family deep sea fishing trips in Cape Cod. The memories always brought him laughter and joy.
