Dear Carole and family, I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing, I am so glad I visited him while you were still at the Lakes. You both have had a long journey, Paul was a special man. My memories of Paul and the Garside gang will be many, we had soooo much fun and lots of laughs. I loved sharing recipes with him-we both loved to cook (and eat). Again you and your family have my sincere condolences, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Donna Gulino

I am sorry for your loss. May the music he played and shared always comfort your heart. And may God’s power carry you as you face the days ahead. (2 Corinthians 4:7)

Hi Scott,

I was sorry to read about your dad's death. I'm sure you all miss him very much. He was such a gentle, positive man and I appreciated his kindness to me and to Allison. I have many fond memories of time spent in his home in Mendon and in Las Vegas. I hope you are able to find comfort in the many happy memories you must have of your dad.

I know Allison would send her love as well if she were here. She told me often of how much she enjoyed your dad and how good he was for your mom.

My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Steve and family

Carole and family, I was so saddened to hear of Paul's passing. We know he is in a much better place but very hard to let our loved ones go. Memories of our days at Garside are many. We worked hard but had so much fun (most of the time:) My prayers are with you and your family. Carol Bean

Condolences to the family from Bob Sorensen, Paul's Logan cousin. I always admired him for his many talents and for his lifelong love of music.
