Paulette, Im currently in Florida till April and regret not making the service for Paul. Many years have passed and I am just now learning we lived a half mile from each other. I had a meeting with our charity tonite and found out a donation to Pa Wounded Warriors in memory of Paul was coming our way. Again, I did not know he served in Vietnam till I read the Obituary. I would have loved to share our experiences. Our veterans thank you.

I have always been so proud of you, brother! Mom made holidays special and I still remember you and sister, Paulette winning a Halloween contest dressed as Raggedy Ann & Andy! You helped me buy my first car, a 1962 Chevy impala for $600.00 You & brother, Joe, walked me down the aisle at my rose garden wedding in 1978. You made the best decision to Wed Sue Phillips - she is my dear sister all these years. You both welcomed me and my family when I visited from Topeka. May God comfort all the family. I miss you but know you are in a better place and healed. Much love, Kaye
