Thank you all for affording me the opportunity to have Paul in my life and also as a part of my daughters. We are all better people for having known him and we will all continue to be better people for having been graced with his passing presence.

Dear Nancy, By, Becky, Jen, Wayne and family,

We were so saddened to learn that you've lost Paul in this life. He was a good and faithful partner, parent, grandpa, friend, and shipmate.

Dear Nancy & Family,

It really was a shock to read about Paul's passing. The Great Architect of the Universe must have something special for Paul to bring him to the Celestial Lodge at such a young age.

We remember Paul's energy and dedication to the IORG's camp in Hanson and the great times we had in helping with the annual clean ups.

We hope that God in his Great mercy will comfort you in this time of loss. If there is anything we can do, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

Chandos & Parnel Bailey
