To Alice and the Cobb Family:
I was shocked and saddened to read of Paul's passing. I first met Paul when he was a toddler in the early 1970's. Arthur had hired me out of school to work for Lybrand Ross Brothers and Montgomery in the Casco Bank building where Arthur was the senior manager and a wonderful mentor to me in my career. On a few Saturdays, Arthur would stop by the office with Paul which he enjoyed. Years later I connected with Paul as we had insurance with Ralph Evans at Nationwide. Paul was always real helpful and he worked real well with my neighbor Ralph. Since moving to Oklahoma 16 years ago I lost connection with Paul. Surprisingly, Paul contacted me on Facebook about 2 weeks ago as I had commented on a picture of Monument Square. We chatted on messenger a couple of times and he never mentioned his illness.
Paul was a good guy as you know and was taken from us way too soon. May memories of "fun times" help heal the huge holes you have in your hearts at this difficult time.
May Paul rest in peace with the Lord.

So shocked and sorry to read of Paul's passing. I first met Paul when he was a toddler in the early 1970's as Arthur hired me out of school to work for Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery where Arthur was the senior manager. Arthur was a great mentor to me and helped me in my CPA career. On a few Saturdays Arthur would bring Paul into the office in the Casco Bank building. Later on I met Paul when he was working with Ralph Evans at Nationwide. He was always real helpful and he worked well with my neighbor Ralph. Since moving to Oklahoma 16 years ago I lost contact with Paul. Surprisingly,Paul and I reconnected on Facebook about 2 weeks ago as I commented on a photo of Monument Square and we became FB friends. Chatted a couple times with him and he never once mentioned his illness.
So I share your loss as he was a good guy as you well know and taken from us way too soon. May happy memories of "fun times" with Paul help you at this difficult and sad time.
May Paul rest in peace with the Lord.
