Not sure what to say?

Paul and I emailed so frequently these passed months, I knew of his daily challenges, his comforts, his Joy's on the beauty of the simplicity of a fresh blooms about him. He knew the challenges I faced as a recent widow, what a comfort he was to me. God knows it was all timing... He knew how I needed Paul nurturing ear. I knew his Sister Sheila and Sweet Doris his mother... what a Blessing. What a Gift, Paul you've been to me. Thank you

Paul won a place in my heart when I sat down with him 12 years ago to get educated on all the different theological degrees -- M.Div. ... S.T.L... S.T.B... and S.T.D.

A wonderful man whose life was about service. He was a great and trusted friend. His word was gold. He was open and willing to listen to all. He treated all humanity as equals.
We will miss him every day.

Rest in Peace, Father Paul!

Paul and his family were all part of the McCreery family, a treasured friend. So many gatherings where we all laughed. He was such a funny goofball! God take care of him, I will miss him here with us.

Paul and his family were true treasures to our family. So many memories. We will truly miss you.

Paul was so much more than any obituary could outline. He was an inspired spirit and the most attentive and caring mentor-friend, ever. His book, Unwanted Wisdom, is inspiration to anyone experience suffering. All who know Paul have suffered from his departure yet we believe we will meet again and he would want us to be hopeful.

To all who know and love Paul, I share my deepest condolences.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
