To the Drexler Family......Paul and I go way back to when he worked for Myers Industries....plus he was my first and best accountant. A first class guy in EVERY aspect of life. I admired his Christian Principles and his friendly demeanor. May he rest in Peace.

Aunt Jane & Family,
I will always remember him with a smile on his face. He's probably giving St. Peter a hard time up there. :) Good memories of growing up and visiting with all of you.

Uncle Paul was a wonderful person. The love he had for his family was always evident. I will always remember his patience with me when he was helping me with my accounting skills, or lack of. I am sure he will be greatly missed by all.

Fond memories on the softball field both when playing against and when playing on the same team with Paul.
Along the pathway of life we find some special people and Paul was certainly one of those.
