He was my mom's little brother. I will definitely miss his gentleness and loving heart. Sorry I didn't get to see you before you left. I'm just happy that your wisdom lives on. Until we meet again love you uncle Paul

So glad we had the time together at our Big Creek Class Reunion in August last year. Paul was, of course, full of cheer and friendship. What a pleasure he always was. We hope the family will accept our heartfelt feelings of sorrow for his passing.

Wow. Dad #2... i dont even know where to begin... i had a whole thing written out here a minute ago and it just poofed away. You were always there for us through the hard times growing up. You and mom #2 opened your hearts and your home and your family to us from day 1, when i felt lost in the world, i knew i could always come to you guys. You will never know how much that meant to me, to mom, to all of us. Sometimes all i needed was a little mom #2 and dad #2 time. And you guys were always there, ready with a hug, a smile, a corny joke... the stories i am able to share with my kids when we go past the house are always full of love and happiness. We may have lost touch over the years but you guys were always in our thoughts and prayers. Sometimes id go sit on the street in front of the house just to have a small chat, even if it was a little one sided, the neighbors always look at me weird, but they got over it. Thank you, for being there for me through the hard times and the not so hard times. 💕 say hi to my dad for me, will ya? Im pretty sure he was waitin for you with the grill ready... mom #2, i love you. And im sending hugs and love to you all. 💕

A true friend who few men could measure up too. A gentleman who was kind and quick to help someone in need. The years we spent having fun going to parades with the Eaglettes will be memories that we will always cherish. God’s peace to you Paul and your family..
