Blanche, Michelle, and Billy,
Sorry for your loss, Paul was a dear friend to all. We all will think of him often. I can still hear his loud, raspy voice playing cards :) He always had the best tomatos :) You all will be in our thoughts and prayers at a time like this.
Love Bryan Callan and Family

Dear Michelle, Blanch and family,

I just want to say that Paul always had those smiling Irish eyes! It didn't matter what he would be talking about but when you would hear him talking and laughing I just couldn't help to laugh and be pulled into his joy even if I was just walking into the house and had know idea what was so funny! He was salt of the earth in my book!

Love,
Rita

We will miss Paul. We were neighbors for only a few years, but we will remember him for the way he and Blanche welcomed us to the neighborhood. We enjoyed talking to him over the fence and admiring his meticulously-kept yard. He was always busy at it, and it was a treat to see. We will particularly remember how idyllic it was for us to sit on our back porch on a summer day and hear the ‘30s band music that Paul played while he was outside. Our condolences to Blanche and family.

Blanch, Michelle, and family, Paul will be in my prayers. I will always remember fondly my time at Whitcomb Place. I will especially remember Paul's sense of humor, great cooking, and excellent card playing.
