Father, we already miss you so much! I'm sure you were looking down on us all yesterday. I know how much you would have enjoyed the memorial service and reception. It was your kind of party with family, friends, food and everyone laughing and telling stories. It was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man, my Daddy.

One of my favorite fathers while growing up in the Burg. Spent many a day at the Enea home where there was never a dull moment.Drag boats, midgets,45 records, Ravioli's, the Ford's air horn, and much more. Paul and Marnelle were always great to us crazy kids, even when we pushed the limits. Great memories here.

Tommy and the Enea Family. I can't come up with the words to express my sorrow with your loss. One of the highlights for my trek from Idaho to the Chico races was to see and visit with your Dad. We talked races, life, women and even Furniture and Appliances. Paullie will be missed by us all.

Paul was a great racing friend. When we
first met him, he was as gracious as can be. We will surely miss him at the races.
He will be there in our thoughts at each race. You must have had a great father.

Paulette, Tommy and Tish,
Words can't express how blessed we feel to have known your dad. When a racer needed him, Paul was there. Whether it be for a home cooked meal or just to chat about the track or life ~ that was the type of fan your dad was - not only a fan, but a true friend. We will miss him!
Love,
Tim, Deb and Timmy Shaffer
