Not sure what to say?

Prayers for the family. Paul was a great guy that will really be missed. I'm sure he is already in heaven picking on granny Eva asking her what in the world she is doing there. Im glad we will see him again someday in a much better place.

My Condolences to the family! I have known Paul for years,may GOD BLESS and COMFORT ALL!

Judy , Pam, Tammy and family, How saddened I am in his passing but so thankful for God’s mercy in sparing him from ongoing pain . We shall see him again . I will forever remember his sense of humor. He loved playing a joke on you . I love you all . Know you are in my heart and prayers. The family circle grows smaller as Uncle Paul is the last of four siblings and my last Uncle . May the Lord grant the peace that passes all understanding ❤
