Diane, I just found out! I am so sorry for your loss and our loss I have so many fond memories of paul, I know I havent been around but, I will never forget the great times traveling with you both, during our boxing trips.

And I look forward to seeing Paul again. Love: David Juvera

To my best powerlifting buddy, thanks for all the help. I will see you in heaven at the big powerlifting meet.

I am just in shock! My condolences to Paul's family. I met Paul two years ago at Old School Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a great asset to the boxing community. He will be missed.

Carolyn, Mid, Steve, Diane,

Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
