Paul enjoyed traveling to Hungary to visit relatives and the places he loved so much. He looked forward to annual fishing trips to Canada with his sons. Paul traveled all over the world, but found nothing as beautiful as the national parks of the Old West. His sense of humor and wit will be missed by everyone who knew him. Paul loved spending time with his family and they thank the Lord for the wonderful father he was. He will be greatly missed. The Kovács family would like to thank everyone who assisted Paul with prayers and especially Windber Hospice for the incredible care and support they provided. FRATERNITY - TESTVÉRISÉG 27
