Uncle Paul was an extremely caring, loving family man and was such a blessing to have as my Uncle. I am and will forever be grateful of how he would take me on a family vacation and treated me just like one of his daughters. I would call him often for advice and just to talk. He will be missed but never forgotten. My sincere condolences and prayers to the family.

Even though Paul was a high level executive at IRS, he was very approachable. I enjoyed working with him. Sincere condolences to his family on his passing and hope happy memories will help to sustain you. Florence (Warner) Atkinson

I have many great memories of Uncle Paul from down through the years! He was always so family friendly and welcomed me to the family! I will never forget how he rushed out to the local bakery in Michigan to get a cake for our wedding, since the order cake never showed up! I will be forever grateful for all the great times we had!
