Although we sometimes lose family much too early, those are the ones who usually lived life to the fullest and loved so completely and leave us with a smile every time we think of them.

PAUL WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY SO MANY PEOPLE. I KNOW HIS FATHER WAS VERY IMPORTANT IN HIS LIFE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER BEFORE HIS DEATH. I'M JUST THE SISTER-IN-LAW AND THE BEST TRIBUTE TO PAUL IS THE AMAZING BOND HE HAD WITH HIS WIFE,CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN; THEY WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN HIS LIFE AND HIS WIFE, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN FELT THE SAME ABOUT HIM. THEY ALWAYS SPENT SO MUCH QUALITY TIME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY...WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT SUMS UP THE KIND OF HUSBAND,FATHER,AND GRANDPARENT HE WAS. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH HIS FAMILY WILL MISS HIM EACH AND EVERYDAY.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU...
LOTS OF LOVE,
SHARON (AUNT SHARON)
