After a long and distinguished career in the Police Force, Paul earned the right to retire and just go fishing, which he loved doing, but he decided that he had time and experience to do something for the community in which he lived, so he joined the Coast Guard.
Known as a quiet, contemplative man, Paul worked his way through the ranks to become the Flotilla’s Training Officer, a job that he excelled at. With care and attention, he guided both beginners and experienced crew through the many competencies which needed to be passed. Everyone benefited from his dedication to ensuring that the skill levels were attained and ticked off.
Paul will be sadly missed by all the volunteers he ever worked with, and they thank him for his dedication and service.
