Not sure what to say?

Paul is a remarkable man. A gentleman and a gentle man. Although I have known Paul for many decades, I did not really know him until after I read his life story here. We will miss him sorely.
Paul is a strong believer in Christ and the resurrection. His service to the church in various positions shows his love for the Savior.
Paul, is there an outstanding husband and dedicated father. He will be reunited with his infant son, awaits him in the kingdom.
I would like to have Ben...

I am thankful to have been able to pray and anoint you on the eve of your falling asleep. Rest now, worthy servant of the holy Church. Our Risen Lord will now eternally reward you for your faithfulness and loving heart. +

Jeanette, Rebekah, and Rachael,
Jim and I are so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I have often thought of you all with fond memories of friendship and happiness. Unfortunately, we will be unable to attend Paul’s funeral as we are out of town. Please know that I will be praying for you and your families. May the blessings of our eternal Christ and the love of family and friends comfort you during this difficult time.
Forever connected through friendship and faith, Jim and Dennice

Dear Jeanette, Rebekah and Andy, Rachael. Paul was an exceptional friend to us and many. We know how dearly you will miss him. He struggles no more and his earthly work is done, but boy did he live it well. May God bless all of you with His peace that passes all understanding. Memory Eternal and Blessed Repose! We love you, David and Cindy

Jeanette & family,

Very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I always enjoyed the many photos he took, especially of pilgrimages to Holy Dormition Orthodox Monastery. “Well done, good & faithful servant!” May his soul dwell with the blessed! ☦ My heart goes out to Jeanette and the family.

May Our Blessed Lord grant a gentle sleep to His servant Subdeacon Paul. Deborah and I are blessed that he was my Godfather.

Paul was an amazing man. I always enjoyed my talks with him and serving on the Atherton Board. He was instrumental in so many things but always kept a low profile never taking the limelight. He will certainly be missed but if there was anyone more deserving for heaven it certainly is him.

So sorry for your loss. My prayer and thoughts are with the family.
