First and most is my deepest sympathy to the family and daughter of Paul. Your Son, Husband or Father was a good friend of mine when I was young. Some of my most favorite memories were with Paul playing in the spud cellars. The last time that I had saw Paul was three years before I moved to Arizona. He was so happy and had a big smile on his face like always. He always had a good attitude about life in general. He will be missed. From his friend

Kristie and Kellie, My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family. I feel your pain and wish that things had turned out differently.

My heart is feeling your pain; remember the special times.

Kellie and Family,
What a shock it was to hear of Paul's passing. He was always SO much fun to be around. I had him in a few classes in high school and he made sure our class was well behaved...ok so not really! But his smile, it was amazing. You could never be in a bad mood around him, well maybe if you were gettin into some trouble with him. teehee. I am so very sorry for your loss. He will be missed by so many. I'm thankful for having the opportunity, though it small, to have spent my high school days with him in them.
