Angie and family - I'm so sorry for your loss. Paul was such a great person. He influenced me in so many ways as a young boy. I cherish every memory I have of him. I so appreciate all the time he invested in me. Letting me tag along every where around the farm. He is definitely one of those people that helped shape my life. Although, it's been some time since I last visited with him, I will miss him. My prayers are with you all. I am in Chicago until late Saturday night. I will be at the funeral on Sunday.
