To Ruth and family; I am saddened to hear of the passing of Paul. I had known Paul through elementary and Windham High School, after which we went our separate ways. We met again years later when we both lived on Oakwood Drive. I will miss him as a friend as I am sure you will miss your husband and father. Rest in peace.
