I am so sorry for your loss. I will be forever grateful for Paul's work with Heartland and the care and love he showed my brother during his time there. He was always joking around with the guys but I knew he cared for them and had their best interest at heart.

I always looked forward to working at Dollywood when Paul was working. He made the day so much more enjoyable. Just being around him made you feel good. I remembering sharing some bad news with him about my teenage son and he hugged me and we both cried together. Now my son and Paul are together enjoying the wonderful things heaven has to offer. I will miss Paul and he has left a huge void in the lives of everyone who knew him
