Dear Family, Paul and I were first cousins - brother's children. My father was William, Uncle Frank's oldest brother. While researching the history on our fathers' side of the family I was able to reconnect with another first cousin - Denise Clarke, Leonard's daughter - only to find out about Paul's passing. The last time Paul and I met was after the passing of our grandmother - Wilhelmina Logan. I am planning on setting up a Facebook Group where we can all connect and possibly - sometime in the future - set up a meet and greet or family reunion of sorts. If you would be interested in making this connection, please email me at [email protected]. My deepest condolences to you all. Praying that God will be with you always and will bless you mightily.

My deepest sympathy and condolences goes out to the Robinson Family. Mr. Robinson you will always be honored and respected with the highest valor. You have raised such a beautiful family and your Sons have always shown with integrity on how proud they are to be a Robinson and the love they have for you. During this difficult time, I pray for the family and Phillip and Paul that may you all get through this. Again, my deepest apologies and many prayers sent to you all.

I remember Paul as the keyboard player back in the days with the Ripple N Waves, Elvy Woodard as the lead singer and guitar player of the group. May he rest in peace with the Lord. I pray that all is well at this time with the family and know God is a heavy load bearer. Elvy's oldest sister.

Gwen, my condolences to you and your family in the loss of your husband, Paul, from my sisters and myself and our families. This last 5 years you and Paul have really been there for the Kennedy family. And each time our need arose, you two met that need in an extraordinary loving and familial way. I pray that God comforts your heart and gives peace to you all in the days to come. Know that one day soon, if we remain steadfast in the hope that our God has left us, we will be reunited forevermore. Love you!
