I remember Paul coming in to Wal-Mart to pick up Sally from work so many times. He always seemed to know that if Sally and I were together, something mischievous might be going on. He would smile and chuckle and shake his head. Even while Sally was ill, and we would visit her, he knew when Sheila and I arrived, it would be more of the same. He just kept smiling. He was always kind to me and I am very sorry to hear that he has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

I will always remember Paul in his youth as a very handsome young man.
At that time, the Fritschen cousins were close. I know he rests in peace and pray his peace brings his family comfort and strength.
