As a member of the Southern Kettle Moraine Horse Trail Association, It was a pleasure to me to work with him on solving problems on the trails and at the campground.

I was just thinking about Paul and wondering where he was and found his obituary. I worked with him. Paul made me laugh. Our first meeting was at Pike Lake State Park where we collected water samples together from some very deep wells on a very hot day. We needed to filter the samples and assembled the pump....incorrectly. The water sprayed all over us. We couldn't stop laughing. And, through the years...we always laughed when we'd see one another. He was a good sport. I am sorry for your loss.

I Met Paul but a few times, and worked with him very briefly, but it was obvious to me that he was an outstanding individual. He was one of those special few that you meet in life. He had such a genuine personality and kindness. I know he will be missed by many, but also know he is receiving his rewards in heaven. God bless and keep you all. Sincerely

Judy and family,
Our deepest sympathies to you all. We loved Paul ever since we really got to know the boys when we were young marrieds and Ralph was at the church in Appleton. Such a special teen then, and man later. Sorry we can't be with you all. We'll be on the way home from Texas.

I came to know Paul through helping with biathlon races at McMiller and very much appreciated the time I spent with him. It was a pleasure to see Paul at ski races at Lapham, McMiller and around the State. I will miss Paul but consider myself very fortunate to have known Paul. Paul will be missed by many. The great work he did will continue to impact and in enrich many lives well into the future.
