I am shocked to be reading this... My sympathy to your family. I knew Paul affectionately called "Redbow" through my cousins the "Zdyb's when we framed houses back in the 80's and hanging out at the beach at The Ragin Cajin . I miss those times and Paul was a great guy and will be missed. John Marshall
