Elsa, Paulie and Kevin,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Everytime I think of Big Paul I think about him telling us the story of the Easter bunny. Gary loved seeing all the newspaper articles that Paul had on Nascar. He sure did have a lot of stories. He will be greatly missed.
Wish we could have been there.
