Dear Rach and Family,

I want to convey my deepest sympathy for your loss. Paul was a great guy, someone who I always look forward to seeing and visiting with. He was such a positive and inspirational person, particularly with everything he's had to deal with. I know he will be greatly missed by all.

If there's anything I can do, please let me know; I plan to be in touch when I am back in town.

With my best regards-

I will miss Uncle Paul. I will always remember his great, heartfelt laugh. He was one of the nicest, kindest gentlemen I have had the pleasure to know in my life.

My sympathy to Paul's family. I have great memories of our years together at college in Greeley from 1941 until we all went off to war, and then back to Greeley afterwards.
