Paul was a man of many talents and interests and worked many years as a cab driver and farmer. He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, car races, music and using the computer. He was a member of AA and lived by the following:

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change.

The courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Paul was predeceased by three sisters, Peggy Hutchinson, Janice Bartley and Betty Davis.

The family wants to extend a special thank-you to hospice nurses Kim, Holly, Gwen and Jancie, and to Cindy Bartlett from Catholic Charities for all their help and direction.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Paul at his home at 433 Main St., Madison.

To Paul, my brother in Gemini, rest in peace. I know that you always did the best you could given the circumstances at any given time. We are all spiritual beings living in human bodies. It is good to think of you being free from your earthly burdens and pains and at peace once again.
