Barb, Nicki, Jessica and Stacy - Our hearts go out to you all. Paul was a great guy - hard-working, friendly (with a great touch of sarcastic humor), always jumping into whatever he did with both feet and hands as well. He was one of those guys who made our church and school community at St. Joseph a great pace to be. He will be missed by all who knew him. With our love,

Paul was a friendly man with a good nature and sense of humor. I remember the fine work Thomas & Maxson did on installing new windows in my former home there in Battle Creek. I, of course, remember him from St. Joseph's and how dedicated he was to the Dad's Club and the church. God will grant you, the family, the strength you need to get through this difficult period. I pray all your wonderful memories of Paul and your lives together will be a wonderful source of comfort and you'll know his spirit is with you.

Not sure if you will remember me, Barb - I was a friend of your brother, Brick, and knew you and your family (and your mom and dad) through him. I saw Paul's announcement in the paper and wanted to send you my deepest sympathy-"Those who live in the hearts of others never die."

Barb and family,
Where do I start. There are so many memories that I have shared with you, Paul, and your family over the years. I loved Paul as a brother and will miss him calling me "sis". Please know that you and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. I love all of you.

Dear Barb and Girls...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We can only tell you that the two things that seem to help at this time are... knowing where our special loved one has gone and...remembering the things that made that person soooo special to us! May God continue to carry you as long as you need!
Love, Shelley and David Steinmiller and Sarah and Heather
