My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

So sorry to hear about Paul's passing. When I worked at The Reservoir, Paul used to visit my office several times a day - usually with a joke or just to say "hi" and see how my day was going. I never did get to play Wii with him though! He was quite the story teller and talked about his family and pets frequently. He was one of my favorite residents at The Reservoir.

I hope soon that the sorrow of Paul's passing will leave and happy memories of him will fill your hearts.
