Being a cabinet maker by trade, he would later take up woodturning in his retirement and was a member of the Central New England Woodturners. Paul was a jack-of-all-trades and you could usually find him tinkering and building in his workshop. His favorite pastime though was being Bumpa to his grandson Kevin. He leaves behind his former wife and caregiver, Nancy (Coomey) Charbonneau, his daughter Tracy, his grandson Kevin and his wife Jessica whom he considered a granddaughter, and his great-granddaughter, Charlotte; and nieces and nephews.

Memorial contributions in Paul’s memory may be made to the American Heart Association or the American Diabetes Association. The family has entrusted Miles Funeral Homes with the arrangements.
