As the years have gone by and I have gotten older and hopefully wiser, I have cherished and treasured my precious Uncle Paul. He was the "father" who gave me away at our wedding and he has been a grandfather figure to our sons. I'm thankful to have stayed in contact with him over the years and have had the pleasure of his and Aunt Helen's company on many occasions. I will miss our many telephone conversations. We are comforted knowing he is with his Lord, his beloved wife, and all of his family and friends. I'm a better person for having an uncle like Paul Benbrook.

We want everyone to know what a wonderful friend Paul was. Paul was our Angel when Richard was ill and helped us care for him. We will always remember him and we hope they are both smiling down on us all.
