Paul was a very active individual when it came to youth. He served as a Trustee, Vice-President, and for several years as President of Green-Beaver Baseball. He also served two years as an assistant coach in the South Range Touchdown Club's Little Raiders Organization.
Mr. Summer was a member of the Allen Lodge #276 F & AM in Columbiana, a former member of the Scottish Rite Valley of Youngstown, the Al Koran Shrine of Cleveland, the "Kentucky Colonels" of Al Koran Shrine, and the Youngstown Shrine Club.
He was a member of the Western Reserve Baptist Church where he served as Youth Director. Paul was a former member of the Greenford Christian Church also working with the youth.
Paul is survived by his mother, Janet, of North Lima; and cousins, Ms. Leigh Altier of Youngstown, Mrs. Lynn (Lee) Clark of Poland, Mrs. Kathy (Barry) Stirbens of North Canton, Mr. Rick (Debbie) Altimus of Massillon, and Mr. William Donald "Butch" DeCarlo of Middlefield. In addition, Mr. Summer leaves several second and third cousins to cherish his memory and many very close and special friends.
Paul was preceded in death by his father, Ray Earl Summer, who died in February of 1985; his grandparents, Herbie and Eva Wynn and Ray and Erna Summer; his Aunt Ruth Altimus, Aunt Clara and Uncle Don DeCarlo and Uncle Freddie Wynn.
