Worked with Paul in the Beam Yards at Beth Steel. Many a foreman would “darken the door” when they appeared with orders for the day, but Paul was just the opposite. He brought the light. With his mischievous grin and laughing eyes, you knew you were in for a joke, a quip or someone was going to get a goodhearted ribbing to brighten everyone's day. Paul was truly a good man. He will be missed.

Bev,
We’ve thought about you and Paul so often over the years. Smiling when I’d see a minivan with Florida plates drive by, thinking it was you two and you were going to stop. We are so incredibly sad to hear of Paul’s passing and are sending you prayers and hugs during this difficult time. I couldn’t have asked for better neighbors to break me into the neighborhood....May God hold you all in his arms..

Betz, What can I say? Paul was certainly one of a kind, and if you met him, you would fast be a friend! He will be missed by so many here in the park. I look back on many memories over the years, and we did a lot of things together! The beach, going out to dinner, Disney, working at the clubhouse together, movies, so many things I could mention! Paul was always a friend to everyone and he is missed. Bev and family, prayers are coming your way to make this difficult time a little easier. Remember the great times always!! Love you all!!
