PAUL HAD PASSION,AND DEEP AFFECTION FOR THE POOR. PAUL...

Rog, Chuck, Carol & Family -- We're very sorry to learn of Paul's death; wish I'd been more on top of events, and had a chance to contact earlier. Sounds like his was not only a tragically early death, but an unkind and difficult illness as well.

Blessings and condolences,

Paul's family will be in my thoughts and prayers...we will meet again some day!

I want to extend my sympathy, esp. to Chuck and Roger, over some distance in time & space. Although I haven't spent appreciable time with him since long ago, Paul's committed charity and affection clearly and recently showed in his solicitous attention to my aging father despite his own growing illness. I wish I could attend the service.

I have known Paul since we wrestled together at St. Olaf College. Our paths crossed in other significant ways as well. Paul, you were always articulate about your views and beliefs. I am sure that your strong religous beliefs and faith will see you to a better place.

I am greatful to have known Paul. Each time I spent time with Paul was an event. He was full of life, color, energy, enthusiasm, and passion. His intellectual curiousity always made others around him think about things in a differnt way. The glory in Paul was his boundless belief in the "right thing" prevailing. This personal attribute was both admirable and contageous. I always left my time with Paul enthusiastic about the good in other people. Among other things, I will miss him for...

My Symathy and Prayers go out to Paul's family. I graduated with Paul and was a part of the group that met at Nokomis Lake for a walk and then off to the 5/8 Club for food and conversation. Paul, a bright and nice man. I will miss him and his many words of wisdom. Peace be with him.

My deepest sympathy to Chuck and the rest of the Upcraft family. I will always treasure the many great memories of working with Paul and being his friend.
