Dear Betty and Family, It was such a shock to hear the sad news that Paul recently passed away. His warmth and kind nature will certainly be missed, and for a special and loving person like Paul it's really a great loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Betty and family,
I arrived at Lazy River not long ago and was deeply shocked to find out about Paul‘s passing. I am so very sorry. I was so looking forward to seeing the both of you. My only comfort is that Paul and Dean are together once again talking and laughing and enjoying each other‘s company.

Him and my dad enjoyed many years of dressing up on Halloween and joining in the fun with us kids up and down the street. I loved all of our bike rides that sometimes ended up at Charlaps. I will always remember his warm smile and...
