Paul was such a pleasure to be around always making me laugh with his funny jokes. He was always good to my daughter and myself. He could always put a smile on my face. He will truly be missed. xoxo

Paul was such a kind, fun-loving man. He made you smile even when you didn't thing you could. God called his name. Heaven's Gate swung open and he walked in.

Few children have been as blessed as me to have had Paul as my uncle. The youngest brother to my Dad, Uncle Paul was always the youngest in heart at any family event whether it was a picnic, pitching horse shoes, camping or just hanging out on the family's back porch! I'm grateful that he belonged to me and that he loved me as he did! My sympathy & love are extended to you, Aunt Janet, and your extraordinary family.

Janet, I am so sad to hear of Paul's passing. I know he has struggled much and am grateful to The Lord to know him. He was a great blessing to me and he encouraged me in my ministry. I am happy that Paul is safely home with The Lord Jesus. I love you and am praying for you in these days of sorrow.
