I met Paul over 10 years ago at our Holy Cross support group. He was such a warm, life-loving human being, and a wonderful friend. I feel honored to have known him. And, he and my father (and father-in-law) shared the same birthday--Halloween! (Yes, different years.) What are the odds? Plus, our memories of Harry Truman, and so much more. So many heartwarming recollections of Paul, his optimism and good will, and all the laughter and fun times. An unforgettable person. Thanks, dear Paul! Your friend, Sue

MaryPat, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. You and I will both share this anniversary day, November 4th, as the day we both lost our fathers. My father passed away Nov. 4, 1990. He was 47 and I was 17 yrs old. It is very impressive and very heartwarming your father lived to age 90.
