Paul was born on June 29, 1961 to Francis J. & Ellena I. (Cover) Magee and was raised in West Roxbury. Due to Paul’s overall health, he was placed in the care of the May Institute. That is where Paul made his home & friends that became his family. Paul had a gentle and loving way about him and was a pleasant person to be around and had a gentle soul. Paul was a polite person who was always sure to thank those that did things for him. Paul was a friendly person who enjoyed giving “fist bumps” as his personal greeting. He always had a good sense of humor and he got along well with those he lived with. His easy-going nature allowed him to bond with those around him. Paul went to kindergarten with one of his housemates, Michael, and they had a special connection that lasted many years. He was also close to Michael’s mother Agnes. They saw one another regularly when Agnes would visit the home. He enjoyed sports in general but he especially loved following the Red Sox. Paul enjoyed going to Red Sox games with his housemates and peers. When he would be relaxing at his home, he enjoyed a good cup of coffee. That always put a smile on his face. Paul also enjoyed looking at newspapers and magazines. One of Paul’s hobbies was to write and color. Doing this with a good cup of coffee was especially enjoyable to Paul. Prior to becoming more limited due to health issues, Paul enjoyed traveling. In 2007, he enjoyed a trip to Disney World and he also enjoyed a cruise around the same time. Unfortunately as Paul aged, these sort of trips become more difficult for him.
