My wife and I have delivered meals to Paul on Fridays for the last several years. Paul was always a bright spot on our route, always greeting us with a big smile and a warm "O my God, thank you!" And even giving us a few scratch-off lottery cards at Christmas. We already miss him.

At one time Paul and I were neighbors on S. Fulton and shared many great conversations. He was a true gentleman. RIP Paul. God bless.
