Paul was a wonderful friend, kind and amiable to all he knew. Born in the roaring 20's and going through the great depression as a child, he served his country in World War 2 and then as a public servant for the Federal government. Paul was deeply in love with his wife of almost 60 years and still got a sparkle in his eye when he spoke of her years after she passed away. He loved dogs, especially Dachshunds, and he and Helen had many over the years. Those of us who had the privilege of calling him friend miss him deeply already.
