My prayers are with your family at this time.

I share so many fond memories of Uncle Paul growing up. My dad is his brother, and the two of them always had everyone laughing! Every holiday was spent with Uncle Paul, Aunt Jen and the family either in Jackson or in Grand Rapids. He is certainly smiling at us with his beloved Jen, and of course, my dad! Much love to my cousins!

Please accept my deepest sympathy

Cindy and I were deeply saddened to learn of Paul's death. We were not aware that he was ill. We have many fond memories of Paul and Jeanette while I served as the pastor at St. James.

My memories of Paul are fond ones,as I remember our school days at Lane Tech. There were five of us , better known as The Big Five
Forever. I remember the year of our graduation, during spring break we traveled to Starved Rock State Park to camp for a week. We had a great time as photos will tell. All of us survived WW11 and had several get togethers during our later years. There are Four of us now and I'm sure all of us will have these great memories we have of Paul. My prayers go out...

May the memories you have shared as a family comfort you all in this difficult time.

We were so sad to read that your father, Paul, passed away. We shared many happy moments on the volleyball circuit with Paul, Bill Minner, Gene Garris and all of the guys who loved the game. We will never forget his smiling face and positive attitude. What a great guy and what a big loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Sincerely, Karen and Bill Abbott (Hanover Horton volleyball and good friends)

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
