I want to express my heartfelt condolences to Paul's family and friends. I met Paul through his long time friend, Jill Dotseth, a few years ago. I always thought of Paul as a warm, thoughtful and fun guy to be around. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Carol, Tom and Rick, I just received word about your brother Paul and wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you at this time.

Paul was a friend of my dad, Larry Hansen (passed away 5/4/2004). His carpentry skills were greatly appreciated when my dad was putting the roof on the new house. Our deepest sympathy to the Gunderson family.

Even though it has been a long time since we had seen each other, I will never forger our youth years. All the fun and memories that we had growing up, I find it hard to say good bye. I think I will just say I'll see you later.

Paul always seemed to see the bright side of life. Paul was always friendly and was easy to strike up a conversation with. May he rest in peace.

I am saddened by the loss of my Uncle Paul. I recall all the Summers working him and the laughter that we shared, trying to get him to sing and learning from him the skill that he had mastered, being a Master Carpenter. All these memories are memories that will make my Uncle Paul live on in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to my cousins; Paul, Peter, Joey, my Aunt Connie and your families. My thoughts and prayer also go out to my Father Rick, Uncle Tom and Aunt Carol. Our family has lost someone that has touched us in so many special ways. My Uncle Paul will be missed very much.

My sorrow is with you, Paul was a dear friend for many years. He was a very giving person, and would help anyone out who needed it. He played guitar and sang in my band, he had a beautiful voice, and he loved his country music. We played mainly on Sundays in the afternoon, and he would always call it his Sunday fun day. He played in several bands before mine, with Jimmy Houle, and also in the Chill Helmin Band. We all loved Paul very much and will miss him emensly. I know he is singing in heaven now, God Bless you Paul.
