Our sincere condolence - we truly enjoyed Paul and Joys' friendship and spent many happy hours together. Unfortunately, we had lost contact after their move to San Antonio and were told by a third party that both of them had passed away several years ago. We would have loved to be there for Paul in his last years. Did he ever complete his book? We would love to have a copy.
Sincerely - Norman and Irene
