Paul and his family lived in the block north of us on Brinton Avenue in Dixon. We were in the same class. His brother Max was a year ahead of us. His mother was a Cub Scout Den Mother and we often met at their house for meetings and Cub activities.
I met Paul several times over the years at Dixon High School class reunions, most recently a few years ago when Paul brought his friend, and we all sat at the same table with Jim and Judy Dixon, Bob and Linda Swim, and Tom and Marilyn Coffey. Bob is no longer with us either. Was looking forward to seeing him again at our next reunion in 2022.
I drive down to Dixon every couple of years and plan to do so again when the Covid restrictions ease. Dixon was a great place to grow up, and in many respects still feels like home.

Dana, so sorry for your loss!
I use to babysit for you and your brothers! Your mom and dad were friends with my parents Al and Wilma Linzemann when we all lived in Oregon.
I never forgot you (strawberry)
We lived on Burlington Rd & we had a German shepherd dog that hated everyone. Your dad hated him. We went to Missouri to visit and your dad came out and fed the dog for us. His name was prince. Your dad played, petted and fed him. Your dad was so proud. When we got home your dad came out and went to pet him and he bit him. Lol
You had precious parents and we loved you guys. Don't know if you remember us, but we do you guys! Your in our prayers ❤ Debbie
