Between life's chaos and challenges I missed the passing of my childhood friend. I remember Paul through grade school, Jr and Sr high, he was always so happy. Our childhood group of friends used to build forts in the woods near our homes. It's been many years but I'm glad Paul led a good life and was loved by all. RIP

Barbara and family,
There is nothing that I can say that will do justice for Paul.
But, My wife and I will both have a good thought for both you and the entire Hixon family.
Our deepest condolences,
Bob and Barbara Dye

Paul, you were such a loyal friend and co-worker. I’m sorry that you had to endure a terrible fight with cancer but you sure did fight it! You touched so many lives. All those D.A.R.E. Kiddos will never forget you and neither will I. Thank you for spending time with Us on one of your final days. I love you PH!
