Paul on the winter trip to Camp Adanac in 1961.

Paul my friend I have missed you over these years. I loved our talks about the issues of the day at the water cooler when we worked at Chugach together. You were exceptionally giving and generous. The world is a little less bright without you in it. I will never forget how you came over and helped me remove all those trees and didn't ask for anything in return. Or your priceless jokes of all varieties! You were a great man Paul and I know you are in the heavens watching over us. You...

I miss you Paul. You were a great friend and I always saw you as a big brother. I wish I had known you thought of me as your adopted son. You had such a great heart and appetite. I wish I could've known you family more. I think of you all the time. Chopping trees, working in the yard, supper time when we have a large spread of food. I wish we had more time. But I know you're in heaven so that's the only relief I have. I miss you brother!

Karen and Kelly,
I hope you see this guestbook because I don't know how to reach you otherwise, it has been so long. Truly sorry I missed the memorial service. Please accept my most sincere condolences at the passing of your husband and father. May the love of Jesus Christ for each of you bring you comfort and new hope for the years ahead.

My life was made richer by Paul. I enjoyed my conversations, which always went from business to a spiritual tone. I admired Paul greatly and will miss my daily talks.

Paul was a very good friend. I met him soon after he arrived in Anchorage. He was living at a church at 15th and C St. He spent a lot of time at our home. He loved getting involved in my building projects. He also enjoyed going to Trapper Creek with me and staying at my cabin and helping me log in the woods. I will miss him. God bless you Paul and I know you are in a better place.

Such a kind and serving soul. Will miss your smile! Memory eternal, dear Paul!

Paul filled our moments at work with many funny stories with an equal amount of inspiration and wisdom. He was a man of honor, faith and humility. I'm changed from knowing him, as he shared his ability to appreciate all things in life without regard for material significance.

Paul always had a good story to tell and was always wanting to help. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known him at Chugach AK Corp for 17 years. His sweet soul will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
