I remember him when I worked for Hughes Supply in the 80's and 90's selling electrical supplies and all the men who worked for him. He was always patient and cordial when he came to the store to pick up supplies. His guys were always friendly and patient as well, as they had to wait while we pulled their orders for them. I just have great memories of his visits to the store and the conversations that transpired as we took care of all his electrical needs. RIP Mr. Yates.

I would like to extend my sympathy to you Kitty and your family on the death of your husband and my dear friend Paul.
Paul was truly a humble,good and righteous man. I know he will be missed. I also know that he will never have to suffer again for he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
RIP Paul. I am praying for you Kitty, your family and for all of us his friends to know that Paul's life has changed and not ended. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made an eternal dwelling for him in heaven.
