Sally and Family,
I hold many fond memories of Paul in my heart. Growing up from the time we lived on Shealy Avenue in Towson to the time our families moved further north, we shared many good times together. I was so happy Paul got to do things he loved: being with his wife and family, travelling, and his involvement in VIM. He was a good man. Diane and I both send our prayers of comfort and love in this time of sorrow. God Bless, Rocky and Diane Herzog

It hurts to lose a special loved one. I will miss this beautiful man who I have known since he was a boy of 4 years of age and watched him grow into the remarkable man he became. He always had a smile and warm thoughts for all who crossed his path in life. May God show compassion to Sally and
the children in their time of sorrow and be their refuge and strength.

Paul and Sally have always been so kind and welcoming to our family and we have fond memories of our times at their lake home. I will always remember Paul's beautiful smile and his infectious laugh. Paul and Sally share many great golf outings with my parents and had a silly good time overall. Thank you Sally for the exceptional care you gave to Paul over these past months as it kept him in our presence for which we are forever thankful. I'm so inspired by the love you both shared and my family will hold you in our prayers for your strength and guidance. Love to you and your family.
