Jean, Danny, Marilyn,
Writing from Europe upon hearing the sad news of my dear friend Paul. His voice and humor will echo in my memory for the rest of my life; his kindness and wisdom are benchmarks which few people can achieve. May God bless Paul and you. And I thank God for the dear friendship Paul and I enjoyed for the last 38 years.

The world will be a more somber place without Paul. He always had the latest jokes. I worked with Paul when he did the trips for the Pinaccle Club and was a pleasure to work with always. To Marilyn and his family I offer my deepest sympathy. Rest in Peace, Paul.

Paul was one of the kindest gentlemen that I have had the privilege of knowing. You might remember me from Bank of New Orleans. Please accept my most sincere sympathy.

Warmly, Carol Terrell Messersmtih
