Our thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family today as we have just heard of Paul's passing. To Paul Sr, Nancy, Sue and Dave, Paul Jr was a good friend and I have found memories from when we were kids on the same street.

My deepest sympathy to Paul, Nancy and the family. Unfortunately, I was out of town and did not find out about Paul's passing until today.

Paul and I were good friends, sharing many adventures on snowmobile and golf trips over the years.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this trying time. He will be dearly missed.

Paul you were a beautiful soul. You always had the best of intentions, warmest hugs, and kindest smiles. You always remained a friend & confidant. You showed me how to experience life and to "hold on loosely, but don't let go". I'm sorry I wasn't there to say goodbye, I didn't know.... My heart truly cries for you and know you were dearly loved!
