It was a pleasure to take care of Paul at St. Francis. He drew you in with his kind eyes and wonderful smile even when he wasn't feeling his best. I am so sorry to hear about his passing. Gary, you took such great care of Paul the day you both came to my unit and it was inspiring to see the love you had for one another. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of a dear and very kind cousin. Paul shared his feelings and showed much empathy to all his family and friends. I will miss him and know his memory will be cherished by all of us. My love and prayers go out to Gary, Erika, Barbara, Gayle and Karen as well as their families. May Paul's soul now rest in peace among all the Mourners of Zion.
