James T. Paul

He was like a father to my husband, Nick and an amazing friend to both of us. We still talk of him often and we will forever miss him. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. My husband always said he wanted to be more like Jimmy. We know he is in heaven and shining on us. We miss you, Jimmy!!

Helen, Mary Lynne and all. Just received word of the passing of one of my Heroes, Mr Jimmy. Here is wishing you all a happy heart today. What a fine man with a wonderful wife and family. My Mother, Nada, just passed. Found a note from Helen to Dad, Kenny about restaurants in Atlanta, 10-24,1983. Such good friends. The best to all. Kenny, Athens

Oh how we will miss you Jim! And how you lived your life - such a great example to laugh every day and have fun. He told great stories of his business success and having fun while doing it. Even near the end he somehow was still fun calling to plot his escape to Greece and planning the adventure. We'll always remember you Jim and your example how to live a great life. Have fun, do the right thing, and be kind to everyone.

No one could have had a better friend, I knew Jim for 50 years, while in business for 25 of those years we ate lunch nearly every day, which led to golf or Gin Rummy, we had a blast together. Anyone who knew Jimmy was richer for it, he was a kind and compassionate man and I will miss him dearly. I know in my family gatherings his name will always come up, my kids were just as fond of him.
He left us for now, but he will remain as always in his daughter Mary Lynn, they were exactly alike.

Helen, my thought and prayers are with you and your family. Jimmy was a wonderful friend and we enjoyed time together volunteering at COSI.

Mrs. Paul,

Growing up, I will always remember the large container of individually wrapped pretzels my brother and I received at Christmas time every year from you and Mr. Paul. You saved all of our thank you notes and when we got much older, shared them with us. I cannot begin to tell you how deeply touched we were, that you had saved all of them from both of us, all those years.
I fondly remember working for my dad's company as a teenager during the summers; Mr. Paul would...

Jimmy was an amazing man and was like a second father to my husband. His glass was always half full and he was so kind to everyone. We will miss him deeply! Our sincere sympathy !

Helen, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jim was a fabulous person and it was always a pleasure to see the two of you in Columbus.

Mrs. Paul: So sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to Wednesday's at Brookside when Mr. Paul would come in to play cards. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
