I was lucky enough to meet & know Paul through David Habeeb. Paul always gave the best hugs! My fondest memory of him is when he came into work on day with a butter kuchen. What he didn't realize was that butter kuchen was my Dad's favorite, it just happened to be my Dad's birthday that day and that he had passed just a few years earlier. I started crying & Paul consoled me. I will never forget his kindness. May he rest in eternal peace.

I too was privileged to know Paul from Ford Motor Company and can say he was a pleasure to be around, and a sharp dresser.

I was privileged to work with Paul for a number of years while I was at Louisville Assembly Plant. He was a great individual, genuinely caring for everyone around him.
Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was a very sweet and funny man. He wouldn't let me call him Edward or Mr Mabrey, told me I had to call him Paul. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

To Paul's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked when I heard the news. I was Paul's physical therapist and over the past several months got to discover how wonderful of a human being Paul was! He gave warm hugs and big smiles, and was just a pleasure to be around and work with. He loved his family and spoke of them often. I miss him already and will remember him every time I walk by his door! Sending out prayers and love to his family. God bless!
