Paul was a great Brother In-law and a loved childhood companion. He has been a part of my life since the day I was born and I will miss him so much. I have leaned on him and Peggy since his brother (my husband) passed. He could always make me smile, and he frequently told me he loved me. Life will never be the same without his smiling face and sweet chuckle. Last piece of advise he gave me "if it don't feel right don't do it, don't let others pressure you". His last effort in life was spent trying to help a stray dog, that is so Paul.
