Another favorite pastime was attending bingo halls, where he embraced the thrill of the game and the camaraderie of fellow players.

Known for his playful nature, Paul had a knack for chiding his brother and everyone on social media. He had a lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, leaving a trail of laughter wherever he went. Among his nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews, Paul held a special place as their favorite uncle. He showered them with affection, guidance, and fond memories that will be treasured for generations.

Paul is survived by his sister Linda Chavez and her husband Cesario Chavez, his brother Frank Gauna and his wife Elsa Gauna, his sister Olga Mata and her husband Arturo Mata, his brother Fernando Gauna and his wife Linda Gauna, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. His presence will be deeply missed by his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
