To all the Newcombs,

Sorry to hear about Paul. Being the oldest Wallace cousin, I remember many good times at Uncle Bobby's when your Mom and Dad would come in to Memphis.
There was always allot of good food which your Dad was always involved with and of course a few drinks flowing.

He was such a kind man and always talked about his kids.

I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Meg, Patti, Guy, and Greg - I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Uncle Paul's passing. "Dapper" and "urbane" were the first words that came to my mind to describe him. I also remember him as an easy conversationalist and a gracious host as well as one of the few married men of his generation that I ever saw cook on a regular basis! I know you will miss him intensely and pray that you will find peace and comfort in your memories and in each other. You and your families remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Dewey and family, I'll always remember your dad cooking a second meal for your mom at night. Candlelight and all. And giving us the VIP treatment on our trip to California. Gracious host and class act. Lots of love and prayers your way.

Paul was an exceptional man, always dignified and steady, someone you could go to

for an honest opinion or knowledgeable answer, and with a finely-tuned wit that could

parry with the best in the room. I will always count among the best long-weekends of

my life the time I came to Boston. Paul was a gracious host. We spent several evenings talking late into the night, and he became more than my uncle. He became my friend. My best to all of you.

Hey newcomb's. hope and I are very sorry for your loss. Paul was a great guy and he and your mom were awesome together. Some of my best memories as a child were when the "newcy's" would come to town. Your mom and dad created a wonderful legacy through all of the kids and grand kids.
