Paul grew up in Corrales, NM. He married the love of his life, Gloria Montano, in 1968 and they spent the next 52 years together. Paul was the owner of Alto Electric Company and a successful entrepreneur for 50+ years. Throughout his life he was known for mentoring many family members and friends. Paul was forever the optimist and always had words of encouragement for others. His family knew him as a hardworking man that didn't know how to slow down.

He had a way with numbers and finance that surprised most people especially since he used only his notepad and the math he did in his head. He loved traveling, dancing to the oldies, joking around and giving everyone a nickname. Paul kept e...
