Sending my deepest sympathy and love to family for loss of Beloved Paul. I knew his brother Robert so many years ago when I was a teen and so infatuated with him that I never knew of his family. I have often wondered if he had brothers or sisters. My friend Carol with LB roots told me of Paul's recent passing. My birthday is on May 17 too. Norwegian Independence Day. Blessings to family, sincerely, Lisa Braaten-Wolff
