As a classmate of Paul's from the CC class of '65, I offer my sympathy and prayers to all of his family. He was always one who had a smile and watched out for the good of everyone. It is evident that the high school young man continued in his mission throughout all of his life. May his soul rest in peace.
Sincerely,
