Hey Uncle Paul,
Man the surfing up there must be amazing! We only crossed paths a hand full of times but I have enough good memories and laughs to last me a lifetime. Thanks a for being a cool uncle. I was only out there a short time but it made my trip out to Mississippi worth while. I am glad to have been able to spend the time with you that I did. I know you will be the first one to greet me if I get into the gates. Lets just put it this way.....when I see a tractor on the road it makes me think of all the good times we spent on your tractors. You'll always be my meter reader.
P.S. NO 4 baby!!! Roll Tide!!

I grew up seeing Mr. Paul often as he and my dad Eddie were good friends. I am glad to have known him. My children even took a liking to him only seeing him occasionally. I am so sorry for the loss of this great man.

You were the first one to ever take me to a Drive Inn movie 37 years ago and supper at Burger King. You were my first sweetheart. Even though our paths separated, and I introduced you to Kim,you now have a beautiful daughter to watch over and protect. I know you will make a great guardian angel for her. Rest In Peace Paul
