After then for the past nine years, he worked security at the Mall of NH where some would say he loved especially riding his Segway around the mall. Some of which gave him the nickname “ Paul blart.” He enjoyed bowling, watching wrestling, and was a die-hard Montreal Canadians fan and can’t forget most importantly loved his iced teas from Dunkin’s. His pride and joy was his granddaughter Vivian. His name will live on forever through her since her middle name is Ray.
