To The Family of Chris Paul: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. I want to express my sincere & heartfelt sympathy to all his family & friends. I remember Chris as such a sweet young man in our years at P.M.H.S. It was so good to see him , & meet his sweet & lovely wife at our 50th Class Reunion, which is now 10 years , past. Chris & his wife sat at the table that I & my cousin were at, with other fond members of our great class. It was so very moving to all of us, when those who had passed away , by that time, were honored with his lovely, poignant playing of his bag pipes. Remembering those former classmates , with Chris doing that honor, really touched many of us, & brought tears to my eyes, & I know the others there were sharing the same feelings I was experiencing. Now we are honoring the memory of Chris, & all he also meant to all who knew him. At the 60th Reunion, they will also be honoring Chris, in possibly a similar way, in which Chris did in the past. ( I, due to another commitment to attend a Grandchilds wedding, out of state, the same weekend of this upcoming Reunion, cannot attend it). But I will be reminded of Chris then, as I am now. May He Rest In Peace.

Richwood Presbyterian Church was fortunate to have Chris come and share his bagpipes for us each Easter Sunrise as we worshiped at the top of the cemetery hill. You will truly be missed. God's blessings and comfort to the family and friends.
