At different times. I take my Dog for a walk in the Cemetery. Then I stop and visit Paul. Tough to see some one gone so young.

Dear Knapp family
I am very sorry to read that Paul passed away. I worked with Paul a few times over the years. Paul at one time was a Great HVAC Mechanic. He could do most anything. I first meet Paul when he came to work at PAL Oil Company then later on at Lang Heating and Cooling out of Webster. Paul will be missed by many.
Sincerely
Gary Prodrick
