Not sure what to say?





I think about Paavo regularly and the era that I met him. He had a way to but difficult words into a simple terms. Hard things to say spilled out with ease. Some folks come into your life at just the right times. He was that man for me!

What I recall about Paavo most, was his stature and his appearance was incredibly overwhelming! His looks and his persona were very intimidating. I got to see him in a very different light when we got to know each other. A very pleasant and endearing man. Whom got to share his real life experiences and help me in my life. Some of the most encouraging words ever were given to me by this man. Will always remain in my heart! Peace my brother!!
