He was the son of Baycil and Frank Dowman and brother to Barbara, Jean, Carmen and Esperanza. Paul began his life experiences in Queens NY with plenty of family and friends. Paul was educated at Westinghouse HS in Brooklyn, NY and graduated with honors. Upon graduation he served his country in the US Air Force, completed a tour in Vietnam and was given a Honorable Discharge. After his tour in the Air Force he worked several jobs until finding OTB in Queens NY where he worked for several years. Paul furthered his education at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC to pursue a degree in Human Services. One day while buying bagels and coffee he met his future wife and soul mate Denise, and as they called themselves the “Cruisers”. Their journey began together in Atlanta and they began to build their foundation and adopted their two fur babies Atlas and Zues. Paul dedicated 20 years of service at the Social Security Administration where he established long lasting and enduring friendships. Paul used his creative skills to build clocks by hand. He was an avid pool player, excellent bowler and of course he always enjoyed singing and acting. He was a part of an acting group and even performed at Porter Sanford Performing Art Center. He also sang with the Atlanta Choir that performed for several years with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Christmas Concerts. Paul is survived by his wife, sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He also was an uncle, a great uncle and a cousin to many. Paul showed his true compassion and strength and laughter and his adventurous travel with the love of his life Denise (Net as he called her so dearly). We truly admire how strong he was through his battle because we knew it wasn’t easy for him. We can only imagine what he was going through physically, mentally and emotionally. Paul fought a good fight and completed his life journey November 11, 2022. We love him and he will never be forgotten as he rests in peace
