Happy to chat with anyone who may be related and also happy to assist anyone else who I can. Paul
Paul was born in Sydney,NSW. Australia. on the 13 November 1954. I was born and raised in Miranda, a suburb of southern Sydney not far from Cronulla, the beach suburb. I attended Miranda infants school, Miranda Public School & Port Hacking High School. I attended Gymea TAFE, and completed a trade course in Carpentry & Joinery. I started my apprenticeship with R.T.Martin & Sons, working mainly on domestic work. I had numerous employers over my working career. My career went from domestic construction to commercial construction then Multi story and High rise. I even did a couple of years training (safety trainer) on a mine site in Western Australia. FIFO I ended up assisting with the construction of the Sydney Light Rail contracting to TfNSW
I also got the typical Aussie "Itchy feet" and travelled around the world backpacking for approximately 5 years. Best time of my life other than having my kids and meeting my wife.
In 1987, I had cancer of Larynx. Very hard times for the family and in those days home loan interest rates were at 17.5% Other than my wife working her butt off I still dont know how we survived as I could not work for approx 4 years.
In 2016 I had my first heart operation, Aortic Dissection, on my birthday would you believe.
Exactly 2 years later, on my birthday, I had to have the first Aortic Dissection repaired, again on my birthday. My poor wife and family suffered tremendously.
Today, 2023, im healthy I have had my cataracts done and can see clearly now and feel great .
