Our thoughts and prayers are with the Asselin family during this time. Uncle Paul was a wonderful man who will be dearly missed. His generous heart and gift of hospitality toward his family were a beautiful expression of loving kindness. He had a deep desire to provide well for those in his care, and that devotion was evident in the way he lived. He had a tremendous work ethic and was always busy with one project or another, always including us if we were interested.

I loved all the animals he had, and staying with his family was always a time of adventure-exploring the outdoors with my cousins, taking walks and hikes, swimming in their pool and later in their lake, fishing, horseback riding, skiing, and sledding. Time with the Asselin family was never dull; it was full of activity, laughter, and togetherness. Uncle Paul was always instructing or teaching me about something, and that didn´t end as I grew older. He genuinely enjoyed sharing what he knew.

I´ll never forget helping him buy furniture and supplies for the house in Florida-he certainly knew how to rope you into his chores if you were willing. Even with a full schedule of appointments and obligations, he always made time to share a meal with me when I came to visit Grandma Painter. He took such good care of her, serving as her personal "Mr. Fix-it" for anything she might need.

He loved talking about the economy or politics with Dan, and I was so pleased that the two of them hit it off right away. After meeting him, Uncle Paul told me, "You picked a good one," which meant so much to me. He was also a wonderful great-uncle to my children and always showed genuine interest in their lives.

Whenever we visited him in Florida or New Hampshire, he was always coaxing us to stay a little longer or asking when we would be coming back again. He truly loved having family gathered around him.

He took great care of his wife, my Aunt Judy, and opened his home to my Grandma when she was no longer able to live independently. His devotion to them spoke volumes about his love and commitment, and it was a beautiful testimony to our whole family.

I am so blessed that he married into our family and loved us so well.

You will be deeply missed, Uncle Paul. We love you very much and look forward to seeing you again in Heaven.
