Paul adored God, his family, his friends and Ashland University, and that passion was demonstrated every day of his life. He was eager to listen and help all those around him. Paul truly cared about every person he met.
Paul was a visionary: His legendary leadership allowed the legacy estate programs at Ashland University to excel and grow. Paul's personal values, closely intertwined with the spiritual mission and philosophy of Ashland University, were used to inspire and empower all those around him: colleagues, friends and family.
Paul's wife, Kathy, created a book fund at Ashland University so that his memory can be shared with future generations of students.
