I will miss a wonderful man. Mr. Landers was always good to me and many others in the community. He walked the walk instead of just giving lip service. We could always look forward to him doing what is best for the Portsmouth family.

My heart was saddened when I heard of his passing. Our papa will be greatly missed. Happy Father's Day! We shared many great memories of riding the train and feeding the ducks. Every time we see a squirrel we will know you are with us. We will pass all of these memories down to your great grandchildren. Take care in heaven and continue to watch over all of us here until we meet again! We love you and you will be greatly missed.

Dear Landers Family,
Paul was a wonderful man and loved by all. You should feel proud as a wife, daughter, brother, sister, grandchild to know how much he was admired by Police, Sheriff, Fire and City Government. He will be greatly missed.

Jr was all the things the Pastor said. He was also the BEST big brother who ever lived. He was always just a phone call away. He was a true gentleman. He adored JoAnn and loved his family deeply. We love and miss him!

Paul was the first mechanic I worked for when I started work as an Insulator Apprentice at NNSY in 1975. Paul was a great mentor and a hard working man. I have many fond memories of working with Paul at the shipyard.

Mr. Landers will be missed greatly by his community & city. Whenever he called me to help him with a city problem it was to assist others not himself. I pray that the comfort of family & friends will help lessen the pain of your loss in the days ahead.
