Definitely my favorite uncle. I am so glad that I helped him plant his garden before I left for California. We had a great chat, filled with tall tales and bragging about my girls, and all his grandchildren. He had a humor that was contagious and a laugh that touched the heart. He was a great father, and a good man. I will miss him. I loved him and love the family he left behind. I will keep all the stories and laughter close to my heart always. My thoughts are with you all as you brave this challenge. God Speed

My heart goes out to all my family, and friends of my Uncle Paul. I will remember him with great love and respect. It is only with a broken heart that it becomes open to receive the love and support offered. Praying all in need feel their hearts fill with loving memories. This earth will miss you Uncle Paul, as will I.
