I went in for a haircut today and as always, I asked about Paul since he was my favorite barber since 2006. I was truly saddened to hear of Paul’s passing on September 3rd. I always looked forward to getting a hair cut and chatting about life, family (especially each other’s three daughters and grand kids), most recently heart surgeries. I considered him a good Christian man and a friend. I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss.

I will miss him terribly. One of the best people I ever had the privilege of knowing. No words can express the sadness I feel. The memories I will cherish forever.

I was one of Paul's first customers when he started cutting hair at the Plaza barber shop. We would joke about how everyone was hesitant to let the "new guy" cut their hair and I told him "I'll take a chance". We became friends from that day forward. We'd talk about cars, and summer time garden fresh tomatoes which he loved. I say this with all sincerity. The world has lost one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. He will truly be missed by all. So sorry for your loss.

Janet, Laurie, Shannon, and Paige I am so sorry for your loss. I hadn’t seen Paul for years but I still thought the would of him. I think I spent almost as much time at your house as I did mine. You’re my family and my heart is breaking for you. I love you all. Praying for you through this difficult time.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Paul was a good friend to my mom and dad and my family over the years. When we lived across the road after returning to Kentucky, my little kids got the biggest kick out of him mowing the yard with no shirt on. They would run into the room saying, “Mr. Paul is mowing nakey!” I know he will be missed. Prayers for all of you at this time.
