I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Paul. I have been his dental hygienist for at least 15yrs, if not more. I always looked forward to seeing him when I saw his name on the schedule for the day. He was always so kind and wonderful to talk to. He always spoke highly of his family and would update me on what his kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren were doing! I will miss him and I am praying for his family and friends.
