Corky and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember you and Paul from my high school years at Ft. Monroe when he used to bowl with Dad. Dad spoke of Paul often and always looked forward to the 2nd Wednesday of the month. He would fill Debby and I in on all the goings on and who was there every month. I am sure Paul would want you to carry on the tradition. The Lord decided to take both Paul and Dad home the same week. They will be truly missed, but never forgotten. May your wonderful memories of your loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather comfort you until you meet again in Heaven.

Corky and family, I was so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Although I had not seen you in recent years, Dad always kept my sister and I up on what was happening with the Wednesday morning Breakfast Bunch. It won't be quite the same without Dad and Paul. I remember Paul as being such a fine person. I used to work at the Bowling Alley at Ft. Monroe when I was in school and remember him well from that time. Please accept my deepest sympathies in your loss and know his memory will endure on earth, while his love will endure eternally.

I was sorry to read of the passing of Paul Condron. I knew Paul from his time as a deputy with the Newport News Sheriff's Dept. As I was a deputy with Hampton, I had many interactions with Paul. He was a fine professional and an even finer man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
