My son and I have so many great memories of hanging out at uncle Paulys and sherrys house. We haven't talked to them in years. If someone could please email me and tell us what happened I'd really appreciate that.

We hadn't seen you for a few years,
but you were in our thoughts and conversation this week as we were reminiscing about our past. Our intention was to drop by your shop this

To his daughter, our condolences. He spoke of you often as we visited with him at his store. He was wonderful to our daughter and nurtured her love of history. He never failed to make Abigail feel like he really cared about helping her gain knowledge about WWI and militaria. She purchased several pieces from him and they are her most prized of her collection. We will be forever grateful to Paul for his kindness to our little one. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

We really will miss Paul. He was a great friend and was the only game in town for all of us who collected military things. He was too young to die. God be with you, Paul. - John and Cookie Fletcher
