I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I worked with Paul at the Oshkosh Water Dept for several years and always enjoyed his smile and humor. I even ran into him on a couple of occasions at Oneida.

Paul will be deeply missed, but thought of with fond memories.

Paul was one of the finest NCO's I have ever met. He greated me when I first joined the 1157th and was my Squad Leader.
When all of us think about Paul we will remember his leadership during Desert Storm as the 2nd Plt Sgt. He was a father figure to all in his care and brought everyone home safe and sound.
Paul you will be missed and until we meet again God bless you my friend.

Ms. Brush words cannot fully convey the peace I wish for you right now. Hold tight to memories of your precious father, and lean on your friends and family for strength God is for us a refuge and strength, a help that is readily to be found in times of distresses ~Psalms 46:1

To my Loving Father: God sure took another good one! The most unselfish solid soul I have ever known!! I will miss and love you all the remaining days of my life looking forward to the day we are all together again in heaven!! I know you are no longer suffering but one is never prepared.
Even though we spent many years making wonderful family memories it's still seems too soon. But I keep in mind God has a plan for us. I will continue to live and remember all the things you taught me that have made me who I am today. I promise your girls will take care of each other like you asked and have the best life we can.
With love forever and ever, your daughter
