I worked with Paul for many years at the Roanoke Post Office. He was a nice guy with a sweet spirit. He always had a warm smile and a good story to tell. He gave so much and touched so many lives. He will be missed in this world by all who knew him, but I am sure is receiving a grand welcome in Heaven. God bless you Paul, and thank you for your friendship.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Paul Johnson. It was more than 21 years ago that I worked with Paul at the Roanoke Post Office. His humor was unending. He loved to play with words and language. I often went down the hall to his desk for the greatest conversations. All will miss him.

I am so sorry about the loss of a wonderful guy. My husband and I were neighbors of he and Dottie many years ago in Vinton. I remember all the games of pinochle that we all played together many nights. He was always such a positive person with a very caring heart for everyone.
Heaven will be getting such a gift with a soul like Paul. God bless his family and know he will truly be missed.

I didn't know him well as was a neighbor for only a few months but he always brighten my day with his smile and caring words. God put him here and I feel he certainly served His purpose. I thank God that "Sarge" came into my life.

One of the finest men I have ever know. His wit, humor and gentle manner will be greatly missed. God Bless you Paul as the Good Lord must have needed a good bowler on his team in heaven.
