There is so much I wish I could to say to him, to share in the daily dramas of life. To tell him how well the kids have been doing since he's been gone and how proud we should be. How big and smart the grandkids are and their many talents.
Rest in peace.

To Paul's family and kids. My heart is breaking. Paul was a member of Hollywood Underground and my group Graves R Us. He moved over to Facebook with all of us. He was there as a friend and fellow graver. His love of the cemeteries is shared by all of us. He always had kind things to say and shared moments of his life with us. He always was there with compliments for me and my girls. Funny how my old email was [email protected] and he continued to call me Korky till just about a week before he passed. So with that my heart is with Paul's children. I too have lost my father and Paul was there with kind words for me. It does get a little better everyday, but the pain is still there. Just remember your dad loved you and fought for you and took care of you everyday. Much love from California.

Nelia, David, Erika, Amy, Melanie & Chris, I knew your husband/dad many years ago and although we haven't spoken except on FB in long time, he was one of kind. Never heard him say anything bad about anyone, he loved you kids more than anything and he loved life. The last time I spoke to him I was driving down to Florida and he tried to talk me into a side trip in Tennessee. I wish I had gone. I'll miss him. Please accept my deepest condolences on your great loss.
