Paul was a kind and gentle man with a devoted family. How very blessed they are to have had such a husband, father, grandpa, friend, .... Paul is truly a child of God and heir of Heaven.

Thank you dad for all your love and support! You made life so much better with your humor and wit. You were always there at every event making sure to include everyone and get us out on the dance floor especially if there was polka music ( and try to keep up!) You were often lucky in cards and games, but you were also a rare person, who could even make losing look fun! Love you and miss you, and I hope they have good polka music in heaven. God bless you daddy!
