My condolences to the family.
How sad I am to hear of Paul's passing. I worked with him at Argus and loved to see him every day. He always had a smile and was always soooo kind. May God be with your family and give you comfort and peace. May Paul's soul rest in peace.

God bless,

Andy and Mandy, words cannot express how deeply saddened I am about losing a wonderful friend like your dad, Paul. We worked together for many years and developed a wonderful bond of friendship. We kidded how I was his "work" wife having spent so many hours together on projects. He was truly an exceptional person, someone I was proud to have as a friend. We had a standing date for lunch for many years and continued after his retirement. Last few months we failed to connect and made a point to catch up just 3 weeks ago. We enjoyed our lunch and visiting and his sharing of the kids. He always had wonderful stories. We took a selfy to commemorate our time together. Little did we know it'd be our last. I will treasure that memory forever. My husband Jim and I were blessed to have known him and we both loved him. He will be missed.
Paul, until we meet again! Love, Ev~
