Dear Anna Mae, Barbara, Janet, Chris, Tina, Ken and Zachary,



What a HUGE loss of a HUGE man! We will all miss him so much. His gentle spirit and kind words and easy smile is a wonderful package to a child - and I will forever treasure the memories of him while I grew up.

I often wish I could have known his parents - what wonderful people of God they must have been to have raised such humble, gentle, and God-fearing men like him and my Papa. It is a lost art and lifestyle and we will lose out on a great blessing with Paul and Ellis gone.

What a joy to know we will see them again one day! May you feel God's strength, encouragement, joy and peace as He wraps His arms around you in this difficult time. I will be especially praying for you on August 2 - always a BIG day of celebration in Orlando!



With love, and deep sympathy,



Jan, John, Rebecca, Mary Ellen, James, Patricia and John

I will always carry the mental picture of Paul with me, of him at various times in my life striding into Papa's house over on Pine St. with his tool box, ready to fix one thing or another.I thought of him as a giant of a man who knew a little bit about everything. He's gone on to his reward now, and left us all a little poorer for the loss.
