I was sorry to hear of this mans passing.
Paul was pretty set in his ways on how he did things and of course he always had the last word cause he was the boss.
My fondest memories of Paul were at STEC on the line crew. Whenever it rained, he would put us to framing crossrams and then he would dissapear.
I know that he loved his wife very much because he always talked of her.
My condolences to Bell and the family.

Please except my deepest sympathies. I lived across the street from the Bannings as a child and they were the nicest neighbors.
