Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr. Wetherbee. I have fond childhood memories of him delivering the mail, mowing the lawn, or throwing a ball; always with a wave and a cheery smile! In my mind, he was always the role model for a postal carrier, just like I always read about in in the elementary school readers. I suppose in the back of my mind, he has always been the standard by which I have graded all other carriers, since. He was a great neighbor and a great family friend...

Barbara and Family,

We are all so very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Wetherbee. I know I'll think of him everytime I pass by on my way home since he spent alot of time out beside his truck. I know this is a difficult time and wanted to let you know if there is anything at all we can do to please let us know. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Barbara & Family...
My parents, Linda & Gary Hanes and I send our love and sympathy to all of you upon the loss of Paul. You were great neighbors to us on Giles Street. Paul was my icon of the perfect mailman when I was growing up in River Park. Love to you all and know that you are in our hearts during this most difficult time.

my memories of Paul are we always knew him as Paul the mailman. He was a great guy.

Barbara and family....my heartfelt sympathy to you all. Paul has been a friend since we were boys playing on the Pinners Point playground, and we worked together for 18+ years at the Post Office. Paul was dedicated to his work and a joy to be around..God Bless.

My memories of Uncle Paul only involve what I have heard. During my teenage years when I actively played basketball, I was reminded by my Mom that Uncle Paul loved to play basketball. Wish I could have seen him play! We send our thoughts and prayers. Only our God can bring true peace and comfort during times of grief and the pain brought by separation from our loved ones. May He be your strength and peace during these difficult days.

My childhood memory of Uncle Paul is that he always took the time to play ball with his younger cousins (the Wetherbee girls--Ruth, Joan, and Anne) whenever we came for a visit, usually on the weekends at his home on Southern Avenue. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. May God grant comfort to you and give you peace. Our love to you,

Joan (Wetherbee) and Richard McDorman Sr.
