Barbara, Wanda, Marilyn, and families:
We were saddned to receive the news of Paul's death. Our deepest sympathy to you all in your loss. I have very fond memories of both Paul and Betty at family gatherings as I was growing up. I remember Paul as a person who truly loved life, and that joy transferred to those who spent time with him. The photo you have posted with the obituary is a great one. Paul looks exactly as I remember him, except for dark hair. He was so fortunate to have the loving support of his family in the later years of his life. We hope that the sorrow you now feel will soon be replaced by wonderful memories of his life.
