When I look at this photo it reminds me of all the good times we had together years ago. You were my step-dad, but more like a father. I will miss all the laughter you created at our poker games. Be at peace now, dear dad, as you've been through so much. Love, Susan

I grow up in Phoebus. I allways look up to Paul as a friend and someone to be like. What a great smile he had. When we got older, we went Bunny hunting together. He would allways keep everyone laugthing. I know he is with God today.

Steven and Len, It's been a long time since I was a little girl in your parents home. Your mother Dot was my first babysitter in Hampton. I remember your dad fondly and pray that you find peace that he has gone on to a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness. God Bless You all!
