Gennie-Just heard the bad news this Monday night. We only met just a couple of times, but those times were very enjoyable as we were flying R/C planes and talking about the Yankees. I wish we would have gotten a chance to spend more time with him as we did you here in Orlando. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Chris, Deb, Brianna and Tyler Porter.

Jen, I am so sorry to hear about Pauls passing. I feel honored that I was able to meet him and spend time with him at the lake this past summer. May you find comfort in the memories that you and Paul have made during the past 34+ years; in the friends and family that surround you during this time and always; and in Gods perfect love and peace that we are all praying for you to feel and to embrace.

Dear Gennie;
My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Paul was a very special, giving and caring person who I will always remember as someone who would go out of his way to help a friend. Both you and Paul are like family to me especially having grown up across the street from you. I will always cherish the memories we share and fondly remember hearing Paul calling me 'Red' (you know he was the only one I would allow to calling me that). I am glad I was able to see you both this past summer and I will see you again soon. Love Red
