Bev, Lori, Deb.
So sorry for your loss. Paul was a friend of mine and always will be. We had a lot of adventures together and occassionally with Wendell. Late nights with him were fun.
Working on the road and visiting with Al in the morning as he made the doughnuts. A lot of memories. You all are in my prayers.

To the Hollingworth Family, Very sorry for the loss of Mr. Hollingworth. I will be forever grateful, and will never forget his act of kindness and compassion, when my Dad passed away. Because of budget constraints, the town had shut off streetlights in 1983, Mr. Hollingworth had the street light outside Badger's Funeral Home turned on for both nights of the wake. Many years later, he would cross path's with my son,frequently,in the early morning hours and offer kind words about his grandfather. Rest in Peace Mr. Hollingworth!

Dear Bev and family.. Some people come into our lives and quickly go; others, like Paul, stay for a while and touch our hearts so deeply that we are never the same. He was the most kind and gentle man and will always be lovingly remembered.
