Dear Paul,Ryan and Nina, Your dad was my dad for over 30 years and he will be greatly missed - both by his granddaughers, Sara and Holly, and by me. He welcomed me with open arms into your family and I will always be grateful for that.

I had the good fortune of knowing Paul perhaps longer than anyone else, all the way back to our days at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla. and then the University of Florida.

Ryan and family. I am thinking of you as you mourn the loss of your Dad. I hope you find comfort in each other, and the wonderful memories you have of him that will last forever. The love that your Dad held for each of you is evident in the loving children that you are today. Best regards.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Paul's extended family, to Dot and the Children and Grandchildren.
To Paul Cribbins' family, I share your sense of loss with Paul's passing. Perhaps the message from the church pulpit as we approach this Easter Season will bring the family a measure of inner peace.
I value the many years of my close association with Paul beginning as a trusted friend in the 1960's, a fellow graduate...

As a Needham Broughton HS classmate and friend of Ryan's, I am thinking of all of you - This is a time of celebrating his life in the midst of your own loss... and as a daughter who has had to face the passing of my own Dad, I am able to truly empathize from the heart. The story of his life is nothing short of amazing --- and the effect of all he did for others will live on and affect the world for eternity. With deepest sympathy and respect - Laura Moffett Myers
