I so fondly remember Paul from Camp Kaskitowa. He left an impact on many youngsters, and on some of us not so young youngsters also.

We were so blessed to call Paul our brother-in-law! ( Even though Jack and Joe weren't so sure about it at first, but changed their minds once they realized how much he loved their sister.) He was a loving, caring, and spiritual part of our lives. He will be missed by all that knew him, and received with open arms by those that went before him! Love to all his families!

Uncle Paul, I will miss your smiling face for awhile, your teasing too. You always made me say that you were the most handsome, funniest, greatest uncle in the world. Its still true. I truly love you for being part of my life.

Thank you for all the phone calls both ways, miles may of separated us as family but we always kept in touch. Knowing that you have joined Jesus is such a comforting blessing and were so welcomed by Him and your family. Keep the coffee pot on. Love your niece.

What a blessing and delight to know this godly man and call him uncle. How we will miss him! He told me Psalm 103 contained his life testimony. I will think of him, Home at last and rejoicing in the joy of the Lord, each time I read it.
