Paul was such an amazing man. It was beyond a blessing to get to spend so much time with Paul. Listening to his life stories and going for long drives around rochester are among many of my favorite memories of him. Paul was the most caring and honest people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He occasionally pops into my head and I cant help but smile when remembering all of the fun times we shared. Today was on of those days. The funny thing is, that I gave birth to my daughter on September 16, 2019. not only will I be joyful celebrating my baby girl, but it makes it just a little more special knowing that we could share such a beautiful day.. Thanks, Paul!
Love always,

Joining this family was a bit of culture shock for this Baptist ministers daughter. This fun-loving, alcohol drinking, story teller decided to "broaden my horizons". At dinner he always sat me on his left and whenever my head was turned he " topped off" my glass of wine. He derived great pleasure from seeing his straightlaced daughter-in-law become a little tipsy. I respected him for his generosity and sharp intellect. I will miss him and the world will be emptier without him. Love and deepest sympathies to all his family.
