Dear Lorene and Linda



We are saddened to hear about your dad. Ron let us know today. We echo our brother's sentiment about always thinking Dad and Uncle Paul were twins. It was so good to have the opportunity to laugh with him and Aunt Virginia at Cousin Paul's. He was a good man. You are very fortunate to have had him. Know that our hearts and prayers are with you all. Love, your cousins

I loved the days growing up when Dad and Uncle Paul would stand around in the yard and cut up with one another. They looked so much alike in my eyes that I always thought they were more like twins than brothers. I'm saddened that he is no longer here with us.
