There are no words to express my sadness over the loss of such a sweet, fun and loving person as Paul. I miss him every week at bowling. He was always the light hearted joker, and oh so ornary. My heart goes out to his wife and especially his children. He is loved by so many. God Speed My Friend!

Gregg, Tammy and family. So sorry for your loss. Though you may feel much emptiness right now, may you find comfort in knowing that your father isn't suffering anymore and that he now has a set of wings that will help him look down and protect you all. I'm sure he will do you proud, as you've done him. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!
