I am so very saddened to hear of Paul’s passing.
He was a wonderful neighbor.
I always enjoyed seeing his blue car driving down the road –
knowing Paul would have a ready smile and a friendly wave hello.
It was one of those little daily encounters that make such a big difference in the quality of a day.
He will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Millie and the family.
