Paul was a member of the Dartmouth College class of 1953 and earned his master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh.  He taught in the North Hills school district from 1954 - 1985.  Paul was also a 50+ year member of Mt. Lebanon Evangelical Presbyterian Church, where he and Kitty were married in 1959, and where he served as a deacon and elder at many times during his membership.

Before and during retirement, Paul also taught Sunday School, many group Bible studies, Bethel Bible Series and AARP 55 Alive driving classes.

Paul had an adventurous spirit and was full of life.  His many hobbies include

Music - playing piano and clarinet; singing in the church choir and in the Pittsburgh Keystone Chorus (barbershop)

Acting in Providence Point plays

Travelling all over the world and while young, all over the US

Physical activities - cycling, hiking, camping, running, swimming, water volleyball, rollerblading, and ice skating

Photography & astronomy

Paul loved his family and Kitty's Northern Irish family.  He spent a lot of time at the Emery properties on Cape Cod and felt very much at home there.  He was an avid genealogy researcher and a member of the Mayflower Society.

But most of all, Paul loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and enjoyed sharing the grace of God with others.
