My sincere regards to Paul and his family. So very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a very good man. I enjoyed visiting Paul and Elle and his brother Dave many times over the years. Sorry it has been so long since I last saw Paul or spoke to him. Much love and strength to his family at this time.

Ellie and family--we are saddened that Paul's long fight to live has ended. It was for you he loved so that he fought bravely to live long after doctors thought possible. Our prayers are with you, his beautiful family, that the many wonderful memories shared will be a comfort in the days ahead. Lovingly, Suzanne Muncy Kerr & family
