I really got to know Paul at meetings with the EPA. The information they had about Paul & Scot's natural gas engines was not always correct. Although very frustrated, Paul was a gentleman thru thick and thin.
He encouraged others to behave the same way.
He was a great leader in so many ways to so many people and a very dear friend to me.
He will be missed by all.

Marilyn,
I so enjoyed our last visit and was grateful Paul was well enough to share some time with us. Paul's passing is another reminder our time here is only a brief stop on the way to our eternal home. Paul is no longer in pain and is with our Loving Father. It is those of us who are left behind who feel the loss of not seeing Paul until we also are with the Lord. My prayers and much love to our family.

Paul was truly a "Diamond of a Man", he had so many facets. His endeavors in the different ventures was beyond imagination. A great loss to all his family. Joni and Steve my thoughts are with you at this sad time.

We all learn from our elders. Paul was a man of hard work & determination. If you didn't know Paul, you missed a wonderful family man. Paul gave not only to his family, but to all those around him. From Go-kart rides in the field, ski trips you never forget, Motor cyle rides and fast rides up Fife Heigths hill(Cobra car) that made the hair feel as though it was peeling off your skull. Thanks for all the memories Paul. God Bless Marilyn, Terry,Joni,and Scott for sharing Paul with all of us.
