Please know that all of you are in our prayers during this difficult time. I will always remember Paul as a gentleman and a remarkable friend. God bless all of you.

Col. Evanko was the best Colonel I worked for in my 31 years on PSP. He really cared about his Troops. Ken Karas, PSP Retired

Dear Ginny, I am sorry to hear this news! I know you have great memories and lots of laughs to keep you going forward. Sincere Sympathy to the entire family! Rain Hess

Paul was a great classmate at the PSP Academy as he was selected as Class Speaker. I was fortunate enough to have served under him with the Strike Force and later, at Departmental Headquarters. He was a true gentleman.

I met Paul when his daughter Lauren and I rode together. He was a great man who lived to take pictures of all of us riding either at the barn or away at horseshows. He always shared a laugh or words of encouragement.

In the short time I knew Paul I found that he was a kind, generous and humble person. I enjoyed our talks about history and astronomy. He was always curious and ready to solve problems. Paul was a fine man. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife Ginny and his daughter Lauren.

Brenda: Our deepest sympathy to you and your husband and the rest of the family on the passing of your father-in- law Ken and Mary Lou (Ford Dr.)

My deepest condolences to Paul´s family and friends As a returning Pennsylvanian and PEMA Director in the Ridge Administration, 1995-1999 I could not have found a more ardent supporter and friend than Paul. Before and during our numerous disasters Paul and his staff the highest quality of service to my Agency and the Commonwealth. Thank you Paul, Charles F. Wynne Sacramento, California
