His home was always open to the children of Avonmore and had many of the Alsippi children’s friends frequenting his house for social gatherings, dinners, sleepovers, and generally a good time. Paul was a loving husband, devoted father, uncle, cousin, brother, and a wonderful friend to many. He was a caring contributor to the community as a member, coach, and past President of Bell Avon Little League; member and past president of Avonmore Lions Club; member of Avonmore town council in the 1980s, Nowrytown Sportsmen’s Club, VFW Post 7901, Moose Lodge 37, Latrobe Eagles 1188, PNA 1234, and member and past council of Hebron Lutheran Church in Avonmore. Paul was an avid golfer and scored his hole-in-one on September 17, 1991, at Country Meadows Golf Course in Saltsburg, PA. He found peace and comfort in the outdoors, on numerous golf courses, being in the mountains of Montana, playing Cinch and Poker with friends, and anywhere with family. In his retirement, Paul took great pleasure in waking early for a walk and coffee time with friends new or old. His outgoing personality and knack for conversation quickly made friends of strangers and led him to spend many mornings “working” at Calandrella’s. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at 2:00 PM at St. Ambrose Roman Catholic, 505 Cambria Ave., Avonmore, Pa with Father John Harrold and Pastor Keith McCutcheon, co-officiating.
