My wife Karen and I are saddened by the loss of Uncle Paul. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mitchell family at this difficult time.
He will always be remembered as a good man that dearly loved the Lord, his family, friends, and country.
I'll fondly remember Paul's vise-grip handshake, wit, and gregarious personality.
Our families will sorely miss Paul's presence.
May he now rest in eternal peace.

I knew Paul for as long as I can remember. We were chums when we were 3 years old and good buddies when we were 77 years old. He was a good man, companion, father and brother. He was my life long friend and he will be missed.
