Dearest Shirley And Jimmie Paul was the most caring and kind man that I ever knew. We would play on the computer and take rides on his cart after I would get done working. He always joked around with me and told me how much that he loved you and Jimmie. I remember when we watched the little deers playing in the back yard. I know Grumpy and Sadie will miss him as we all will. I know that he will always be with us. God certainly has the best gardener in heaven but he has left us with a very big hole in all of our hearts. If you need anything please let me know. I will keep in touch.

I am sadden to hear of Paul's passing. He was a good friend for many years. Although I had not seen him recently, it seems just like yesterday that he was joking around and having fun. I truly thought that he was one of the immortal. He never seemed to age no matter how long of an interval it had been since we visited. He will be missed but held in the heart. Godspeed Paul.
Sincere condolences to Shirley and the rest of Paul's family.
