My husband and I knew Paul for many years as our neighbor across the street, on whom we could always count. Our condolences to his son John and to all his other relatives. I remember how devoted Paul was to Mary, especially as her physical strength was failing. When she wanted to join a neighbor-ladies' lunch at a local restaurant, Paul drove her there and made sure she was settled at the table with her wheelchair, then came back to pick her up when the gathering was over. He was always quietly thoughtful of her needs. We miss him.

My condolences to the Setzco family for the loss of Paul.
Paul was a member of a singles social group, Sitzundjibers, for a few years. He often spoke of his family, his wife and son and how proud he was of them. He was a kind, caring and generous person.
Wishing Paul's family peace and comfort.
