Paul played semi-pro football with the Hinesville Hurricanes and also played minor league baseball in Shreveport, La. He loved Alabama football, the Boston Celtics, and his mama's cooking!

Paul was an exceptional athlete; His athleticism is now seen through his son, Caiden. Paul was also the life of the party and would always be the first person on the dance floor.
