As I search for the words to express my sympathies to the families and friends of Paul, I am at an utter loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of Paul to the Rippeth and Sylvester families. He was a good man and his heart was always in the right place. I will always have good memories of him. My sympathy and heart goes out to you all. I could not imagine how hard it would be to lose a child now that I have one. Please take care of each other in this difficult time and always.
