It was always good to see you at the coffee shop when I was home visiting my family in Paulding. I got to sit and talk with you the last time I was home a couple months ago. You always had a story to tell, usually a story about my dad. You will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved you. Rest in peace.

We are so sorry that we didn't get back up north in time to see Uncle Paul one more time. We have so many memories of how "mean" he was because he made his kids work when they were young & made us help pull weeds in in the bean fields when we visited! We also have lots of happy memories of him. He will be missed.

Love, Patty, Susie & Don
