My most sincere condolences to the family. My husband, Archie, served
with Paul on the Skate and we enjoyed
many mini-reunions together. I embroidered a shirt for him with a
submarine on it- a few years ago. I
hope he and Archie are telling war stories with all their shipmates that have gone on before. Paul was a good friend. God bless you all.
