Paul and his family lived across the street from us on Thurman Avenue in M.C. Always remember him as a very active and inquisitive young man. Especially enjoyed visiting his parents sporting goods store on Franklin Street in downtown M.C. Rest in Peace, Paul. My sincere sympathies to his family.

I will remember Paul for his dedication to his work at the Indiana State Prison. Paul was employed at ISP for over 50 years, and during his watch he experienced much. I can recall conversations with Paul about our work, and events that occurred there long before my time, information that only can come from someone who witnessed it. Paul was smart and brave man, and I am fortunate to have known him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends as they grieve his passing.
