So sorry for your loss to family and friends.
Paul was pretty good at whatever he did. Softball, Basketball, Karaoke. Played softball for about a dozen years with Paul. We were even involved with a triple play. Have a lot of memories from floating down rivers with the crew. Good times.
Hope the good memories will last forever for all who mourn.

I am so saddened to hear of Paul´s passing. He was a calm, steady presence at Coopersville Schools, and I always valued his observations and advice.

So sorry to hear about Paul´s passing. I have known him since 7th grade. Ran into him a couple of times one time at a concert we were both there watching are granddaughter´s performance it was so good to see him. The last time I saw him he was leaving and I was bringing my brother in for a treatment he was an awesome guy so glad I was able to get a hug from him.
