My thoughts and prayers go out to Paul's family. I have known him for over 20 years and I have always thought a lot of Paul. He really was a very good person. Alisha, he is with your grandmother, Diann now, and I am sure he is taking care of her and they are both rejoicing. We will see them again some day. God bless all of you.

May God give peace to those who loved Paul.I met Paul through my mom 23 years ago.He was a wonderful person who you could not help but to care about.It did not matter what you my be going through he could always make you smile.If you were ever friends with Paul you knew you had a friend for life.He was tough around the edges,but all heart inside.I have never met someone with so much heart,will power, and strength.He was an amazeing person.He was the only person I trusted to work on any of my cars.And there wasnt a time he didnt fix whatever was wrong with them.He was like a big brother to me,And a son to my mom.He loved his family so much!My mom and myself will always miss him. But never forget all the good times.My heart goes out to Lynn,Alisha,Nina, and the rest of his family! May God see each of you through this sad time in your lives.NO MORE WORRIES MY FRIEND!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Paul will be missed. I have some good memories of just hanging out in the yard with Paul and Lynn. Paul always had a way of making sure everyone had a good time. Ive known Paul about 30 years and he was always a good hearted, loving person.
We will miss Paul deeply.

May God give you all peace in your heart
in your time of grief. My family is so saddened to hear of Paul passing. He was a one of a kind person. We will always remember him as layed back and quiet and carried his heart on his sleeve.{I always seen him helping someone in one way or another.}I know Paul worked on every car Ive owned in the past 16 years and everytime, he got me back on the road.God has taken one of the good ones from us,but we will keep him with us in our memories forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Cindy,Sara & Bryan Belk
