Uncle Paul only lived with us for a short time when I was little but it felt like years, because he left us with so many great memories. Like his so called bite out of a plate, to leaving us in the corn fields and having us touch the electric fence, and don't forget the tuna salad made out of "9 Lives" tuna. He was truely loved, and we will miss him dearly.

Jane and family-
I enjoyed working with Paul and talking sports with him except when he wanted to talk about the Packers. I remember when he became a grandfather and how excited he was when he spoke about it. I will remember him fondly and my prayers go out to you Jane, his children, and grandchildren. I know he will be missed.
Sincerely.
