The late Paul Jodice Senior founded Jodice & Sons in 1966. Paul Senior was known for many things, including his culinary skills, his creativity for design and building, and his love for family and community.

Paul Senior’s love for design and building began when he was a young boy. As a high school student, Paul Senior was a young architect, who for a school project spent two months designing and building a model of a contemporary home. His dream was to attend the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture in Arizona. Paul Senior never made it to Arizona, but their loss was the gain of the countless homeowners he has helped over the years.

Paul Senior’s love for cooking also helped the homeowners he worked for. After all, it is said that when you cook, it really helps to know your way around a kitchen. The same holds true if you design kitchens -- it really helps if you cook. And boy, did one love complement the other when Paul Senior was serving up his magic.

In addition to making homeowners very proud of their residences, Paul Senior did much for the community. He touched the lives of many folks over the years with his unceasing commitment to countless community charities. Perhaps his greatest love and effort went toward supporting the growth of all the youth athletic programs, especially football, in the Town of Mansfield. Paul Senior sponsored several youth athletic teams and was one of the original founders of the Mansfield Midget Football program. He also was a long-time director of the Mansfield Gridiron Club. His desire to help did begin when his two sons – Paul Junior and Anthony -- played football as boys, but it continued long after his sons hung up their cleats.

Then and now, Jodice & Sons show their support for the community by working with many local contractors, vendors and businesses, and by honoring the many youth athletic programs, just as Paul Senior did for so many, many years.
