Always rememberd my uncle's visiting my Mom and Dad's house on Clum road. Uncle Paul and Uncle Jon would take me arrowhead hunting and I was so excited when I found my first arrowhead. They will always be in my heart. I will never forget Uncle Paul and the the rest of my Uncle's who made such a impression on my life growing up. Fly high Uncle Paul. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with you Aunt Pam, Stacy and Jonah.
