Not sure what to say?

I worked in the newsroom of the DAR from the late '70s through the '80s. Paul was so kind and so patient with me, as I often didn't know what I was doing! All my best to Elaine and the rest of the family. Prayers for peace and comfort.

I worked at the DAR from 1972 to 1988 in the mailroom and later in the circulation dept. and I remember Paul very well. Very nice man and a great outdoorsman. My prayers to the family. Rest well Paul

Paula and Ron and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your dad, but rejoicing in the gain of Heaven. May the Lord give you peace and comfort in the days to come.

Enjoy your eternal reward Paul!

Mike Im so very sorry for your lost thoughts and prayers for you and your family

My deepest sympathies to Elaine, Paula and Mike. I know how important Paul was to each of you. He was a good man.

Paul was a very good person.
Hugs to family.
