So sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I was lucky enough to work with Paul at Mechanical Services. Paul was a hard worker and a good man. He kept working when most men would have given up. I will be pray for your family.

My father took me to visit Aunt Margaret on Bernhard Avenue years ago, she lived near the Kotlinski's, and Paul came over and took a swarm of bee's from a tree in the front yard. I think he used a smoker. He was a hero that day.

To all the Family of Paul,
I'm Joe Schneider, son of Charlie and Sophie Schneider. After reading the obituary I think Sue, his mother, may be my cousin. Putting her name with one of my Father's sisters it just rang a bell. If you want to contact me my email address is [email protected]. I truly am sorry for your loss as my Dad always talked fondly of Walt who I got to meet many times.
