Please accept the sympathy and prayer of the family of St. Francis de Sales School from which Paul graduated in 1959. We believe the motto, "Once a Knight always a Knight" and so we shall continue to remember Paul. Beginning in the Autumn of 2025 we shall remember him at our Annual Mass for Deceased Alumni, Faculty, and Staff celebrated in the school chapel on the Sunday nearest November 1, All Saints' Day. Family will be invited.

My deepest sympathy to entire Mettes family. I´ve Paul since I was 16, he lived next door to his parents back in the 70´s when his brother Patrick and I were friends in high school.

Condolences to Mettes family. Paul was a firefighter friend of my Dad's and cut our hair from time we were boys to time we were men. We went to SJJ and so did his sons . He was a great guy we all liked. I can say I have not seen him in many, many years but my brother Mike did. Mr. Mettes was a great listener and a great talker. He was not shy with sharing his opinions on a few matters and more than once he helped me a lot with how to look at a situation in life. I will say a prayer for him...

Paul was a man larger than life. He was one of the fist people we met at our condo when we moved in. He was knowledgeable about almost everything at the condos and was the first to lend a hand. As he sat outside smoking one of his cigars, he would regale us with on of his many stories. He will be missed by all who knew him here, especially Don & Laurene Markis

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
