Thank you, Chris, for your contact with the Powledge family. I remember your father as a typical twelve-year-old who was a good looking boy. He was visiting his Aunt Ethel Powledge Click at the time. My husband Gerald stopped by the clothing store for a short visit with Paul sometime in the early '80's. Cherish the wonderful memories you have of your father. They will bring a smile and brighten your day.

Paul's Powledge cousins have fond memories of summer days spent with him in Arkansas. We are saddened by news of his death. Thank you, Chris, for your connection to our family, your dad's family, your family.

Condolences from the Huntsville High School Class of 1962. Paul was the heart and personality of Bill's Menswear.

I worked with Paul at Bill's Men's Wear at The Mall. A True Southern Gentleman and a Great Saleman. My thoughts and prayers are you and your family.

The voice of a soft-spoken giant has been stilled. The ultimate professional clothier and friend. A role model in my life.

They knew the young girls on the swim team were not drowning. We thought those two older men were movie stars. A...

MAY YOUR SADNESS BE OVERTAKEN BY THE PEACE IN THE CELEBRATION OF PAUL'S FINE LIFE.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
