Dear Paul,

You know that I always loved you like the brother I never had. Always helpful, always smiling and an excellent friend since early 60's. You and your family always made me feel welcome . Be sure to say "Hi" to Cecil for me. I'm sure the two of you can find some plumbing to fix. Say "Hi" to Claudia also. Miss her.

Will drop in and see you someday.

Love you and your family always,

Norma L. Poe

We lost a dear soul on our street this week. Paul was instrumental in starting our annual block parties on our street over 20 years ago, and was a great neighbor and friend. He was such a wonderful resource that we lovingly called him "Our Mayor!" You WILL be missed Paul! R.I.P.!

I sure do love Paul, even when we are not "clowning" around!
