He went to school for electronics and retired as a mechanic from the South Postal Annex where he worked for 30 years retiring back in 1991. Paul moved to Norwell 26 years ago. His love of travel took him to places such as Colorado, Maryland, Disney World, Washington DC as well as New York City and Las Vegas. He was an avid stamp collector and a great history buff, which started his interest in genealogy. He was very proud of his family and looked forward to the annual Devaney-McCooey family reunions every year. He will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know him.
