Paul was like a big brother to this little sister as I was growing up. He was always a great guy and easy to talk to- especially about the "good old days"! He is missed but will never be forgotten. Our condolences to the family.

Dear Shirley and family, I would like to send my sincere condolences on the passing of Paul. I followed Paul, working at Brown's Garage in Orefield in the late 50's and working in the Test Center of Mack Trucks in the 1980's and 90's. Paul was a friend from the Orefield area and was always a pleasure to run into and reminisce about our days at Brown's Garage. As a fellow veteran I thank him for his service to our country. May he rest in peace.

I am so sad to learn of Paul's passing. Paul was not only the best, most trusted mechanic I ever had, he was also a great friend who did whatever he could to make life easier for me whenever I had a "vehicle emergency". I have often thought of him and wondered how he was doing as since I moved to Myrtle Beach we lost contact. May you rest in peace dear Paul, heaven has definitely gained a very special angel! Condolences to his family

Paul and I worked at Mack for a good part of our lives. When we worked second shift we had lots of fun but still got the work accomplished. Memorable times were when Paul would eat too many tomato sandwiches or too many hot dogs when we would have hot dog night at the test center. Some of our fellow comrades on second shift have passed and those fun times are only memories now. Paul is now at peace.
