My dear Jean & Family .... I just learned today of Paul's passing. I was attending a Church service for my Dad who passed away March 20th and a lady Paul & I use to work with told me. I am so heartbroken for you! I can't tell you what a great spiritual comfort Paul was to me years ago when we worked together at IP Woodlands ... he brought me through many dark days. I will always remember him and will keep you always in my prayers. The world has lost a truly wonderful person. Carol

What a void left here on earth...Mowers silent....machines untinkered with...young ears left waiting for words of wisdom over baited hook..radiant smile gone ....you will be missed in so many ways here on earth. Your contributions were rich and plentiful and you served the Lord well. Till we meet again. Prayers of comfort to Jean, Julia and family.

I did not know "Bampa" personally like most of my friends at the camp we attended at His Thousand Hills, but please know that by Bampa's service in helping with keeping the land and camps up and running, you all have made such a huge impact on many young lives. And I'm positive that Bampa has used up all of the talent God gave to serve and share the message of Christ without even realizing it. Thank you. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
