Dear Lynn and Family,
Rena and I want you to know you are in our prayers. Paul was a good man and you opened up your home to me before Rena and I married.
We pray God's Blessings for you and your family. I have a really nice picture of Paul that I took last summer when we visited. It shows Paul as I will always remember him....smiling. I will send that to you. You will like it.
In all the years I knew him, he was always jovial. Saint Paul Lutheran will not be the same without him.
I have many memories of our time in Hamel and you and your family are a big part of why I feel so good about my time there.
Paul will be missed....
Hilton and Rena Roberts

Dear Dave and all of the Steinman Family,
I had the pleasure of doing business with Paul. He was always helpful and tried to accomodate my needs. His business has continued after his retirement which continues with his philosophy. I admired the way he continued to work following his retirement. I will miss him. I offer my deepest sympathy to the Steinman family and pray God's peace for all of you during this time of sadness.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ray E. Howell

My sympathy to Paul's family. So
many memories. We worked together
on the farm. He ate with us, and stayed with us. Paul and friends frequently invited me along to a Saturday nite movie. Today, he is
in a better place.
