Not sure what to say?

Paul was a classmate at CMU Laboratory School through High School. Paul was a good and kind friend. My deepest sympathies to his family.

To Paul's family... You have my deepest sympathy at the loss of an outstanding, fun-loving, and fine individual. I went to school with Paul at the Lab School through High School. Although I haven't seen him in years, whenever I've thought of him it has brought a smile to my face. He was truly a nice guy and his kind heart lives on.

I'm so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to all of his family. May your memories comfort you always. Paul was a good friend in high school.

My thoughts and prayers are with Janelle and family. As a co-worker, I always knew Paul was a great guy, and wish I could have known him better. He was always pleasant to me. This world is going to miss him and so will all his family and friends.

Sending condolences to Paul's wife and family. I had the pleasure of working with Paul, first at the Midland Daily News when I was a CMU student, and then again in 1996 when I joined the Saginaw News. Paul was an outstanding journalist, and a funny guy. Am blessed to have had a chance to know him and work with him.

Paul, you were an amazing and wonderful volunteer at the Coleman Senior Center. Always willing to help deliver Meals on Wheels! We will all miss you. Prayers to Janelle and your family. Sheryl Watson

My deepest condolences to all of Paul's family. In addition to being a super-talented editor and reporter (I learned a ton from Paul when I interned at the Saginaw News!) he was a uniquely kind person who made everyone around him feel important.

It was always a pleasure to have Paul come in our camera shop. Fun to talk to and he had a great knowledge of the old equipment. He helped me many times research and find info on some of the odd cameras that would come that would come through the store. My thoughts are with Janelle and the Family.
