Had not been in touch with Paul since High School days, but was sad to hear of his passing. What I remember best is that he was a stalwart on the basketball team, on which I was a fringe member, watching most games from the bench, far removed from Coach Jorgensen but cheering for Paul!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Felton family at this difficult time. I pray that the Lord's presence would strengthen and comfort all of you. I'll always remember Mr. Felton as a larger than life, somewhat intimidating man who was always doing something around the house. He loves his family & the Green Bay Packers. It was a privilege to know him.

Paul was my cousin. When we were kids we would wrestle in the front yard of our grandparents house, George and Nellie Zwickey On Chestnut street in Neenah Wisconsin. we all moved here and there and lost touch. But you were right he was one of the good guys.
