Paul was a tremendous force in our community. He served on the Chamber Board of Directors and generously (without being asked) supported the Chamber's efforts. He was a friend in the true sense of the word. His support of our area often went unknown, but he made a difference in the quality of life for many folks. He loved his family. He is missed.
