Paul was a wonderful brother. One happy memory I have is when he was the soloist at the Christmas play at Middleton High School. I had come home for a visit and he casually invited me to come to the performance! Was I ever glad I went! He was the star of the show! He sang Simeon's words from the book of Luke, chapter 2 about witnessing the birth of the long promised Messiah. The song was, "Mine Eyes have seen the King in all His Beauty."
I was in awe listening to the amazing talent that God had given my little brother. The spotlight was on him and the gymnasium was packed out. The audience absolutely exploded with applause when he finished the song and I was so proud of him! I always wished that the rest of the family could have been there, and how fortunate I was to just happen along at the right time to be able to go with him to hear his song.
I have never forgotten this experience, the words to that song, or how proud I felt sitting in that audience and hearing his beautiful voice ringing out.
Little brother, I know you are even now singing from the mountain tops of heaven and I can't wait to join you in those songs of praise some day.
With My Love,
Your Sister, Eunice

What a beautiful service. I really was moved by the lovely music and all the nice stories about Uncle Paul. He was an amazing person to have raised such a creative and talented bunch of kids. I couldn't believe the beautiful casket that Mike made out of the pews at the old church at Melba. What a gift of love that was! Uncle Paul had remarked about it before he went on that he was going to get to go out in style. There was also a man there who had a Bible that Uncle Paul had given to him when he was 11 years old. What a testimony. Really neat to hear all those stories.

My beloved husband, childrens father, and grandkids grandpa, left on Sunday morning to meet his Master face-to-face. We were so lucky to have him in our lives. The legacy that he has left us will never be forgotten. He was a gentle, kind man full of integrity. When he gave you a handshake he meant it. He was an honest man, full of love for those he met. He love his Master and his desire was to see his children and grandchildren live a life pleasing to God. He always said our life our life was an open book. "God delighteth not in the strength of a horse - He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man, but he takes pleasure in them that fear Him and those that hope in His mercy" PS 147:10-11. "Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts? Zach. 4:6.

Dad, no one wanted to see Jesus like you did. You were such an example for us kids by being a true man of faith who trusted in God fully and just like the song says, that was your story and that was your song. I remember how your days were spent glorifying Him. You woke us up in the morning singing, "Rise and shine and give God the glory" and when asked "What's up?" you regularly answered, "God's on the throne." When you made a decision to become a child of the King, it was a life altering experience. The way you read His Word, meditated on it, hid it in your heart was the essence of who you were. When you made a commitment to marry mom, it was a life-long decision. Many around you gave up when times were tough. But, you and mom have passionately loved each other thru all the ups and downs in life. You didn't allow things of this world to separate you, but instead allowed God to give you strength to persevere. After all, He's the one who joined you together as one. You and mom are such a model for all of us. Many times, as a child, I selfishly complained that you were out of work on my winter birthday, wishing I would have had a birthday in the summer months. I just want you to know, I realized once I grew up, how you had given me the best gift of all times - an eternal gift - our Christian heritage. Your Christ-like example will always live on. You have left such a wonderful legacy. I can't wait to meet you in heaven and to see what God has prepared for you up there. Well done Dad, you were a good and faithful servant, and I'm going to miss your inviting smile. :) I thank you and I LOVE you so much, Your daughter.
To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord

I was honored to hear his sermons in the Melba Assembly and to know him personally as I grew up with his children
I thank God for my Uncle Paul's Godly example and am glad for the hope we share because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

It was an honor to get to know this man for the short time that I did. It was a double honor to go into his home to pray and have communion with him and his family. What a man of God and what a legacy he leaves. Thank you Paul for being an example in life and ministry. Greg Grigsby

Dad...you are my hero. The memories I have of you bring to mind words such as faithful, strong, decent, kind, dignified, loving, devoted, noble, practical, servant, joyful, trustworthy, wise, Christ-like.
I'll always remember how you never wavered in your faith in the Lord Your obedience to Him led you through life serving others, leading your family and making life better for all of us. You were always for the underdog ,whether it was helping the poor or cheering at a boxing match.
Thank you Dad for being my biggest fan while I played baseball and basketball growing up. All of those hours we spent together playing catch or shooting free throws are vivid and treasured memories of my childhood. You must have been so tired after working hard all day, but you still took time to spend with me.
Thank you Dad for teaching me a strong work ethic starting with my first paper route. You taught me integrity... be on time, deliver the papers to the porch, collect with efficiency, be kind to the customers and most importantly, calculate my profit and pay my tithe. To this day this principal is near and dear to my heart.
Thank you Dad that you were always intersted in what was happening in my life and supported me. I know that you were proud of me and you loved me.
Thank you Dad for your legacy. The reputation of your name is impeccable and that has such value. If you ever shook someone's hand in agreement, your word held no matter what, even if you had to sacrifice. I can remember you literally giving all you had for someone else if you believed that was what God was asking of you.
I know you looked forward to Heaven and I have great memories of you describing to me what the Bible said it will be like. When I get there I can't wait for you to give me a tour! Oh..and never worry about Mom...we will take care of her for you until Jesus calls her home too.
Dad...it is an honor and priviledge to have you as my father and I love you. This prayer reminds me of you "Lord, lay some soul upon my heart, and love that soul through me; and may I nobly do my part to win that soul for Thee."
-- Tucker
Thank you Dad for being my hero...love your son, Michael
