As members of the Orlando House of Prayer, Paul continued his volunteer work with the West Orange Compassion Center.

Paul was one of the kindest christians I ever met. He always had a positive outlook. For a man confined to a wheel chair he made our problems seem very small. Kevin Sullivan

I only met Paul recently when he came to the Vocational Rehabilitation Office in Apopka and I became his Rehabilitation Counselor. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing as I looked forward to helping him with the things that he would need to maintain his employment.
You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one.

Mrs. Andree I worked briefly with Paul at Sylvan and I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss and that Paul was a great person. I also interviewed him for the Center for High-Tech Training for Individuals with Disablities at Valencia many years ago. He was accepted because of his brillant mind and wonderful personality. Our paths intertwined over the years and I will miss the fact that our paths will not cross again. He had a wonderful heart and was a very driven person. He will be missed in his community but he will forever be in our hearts.
