What a true blessing Paul was to so many in Vero Beach and at Trinity Church! He was a Christian gentleman who touched many lives and Sunday School teacher extraordinaire. I will always treasure his teachings on the Cruxifixion and Resurrection. It was a privilege to have known him. With sympathy to your family. Kay Brown
