All,
Your Dad and Grandfather will be greatly missed. I remember the long days working in the fields picking potatoes, corn and strawberries what a lot of fun it was for this city slicker. Your Dad was a great inspiration to me to on how hard work with a little fun added in is what work should be like. I'll never forget those days at your folks' home visiting and eating and playing games and just being family...I thank Nanny for making me go when I didn't want to because I wanted to stay behind and play with my friends. A lot of great memories came from that home and those fields.

Tim, Lori, Karen and families - it was very sad to hear of Paul's death. From the day my family and I moved to Port Crane in April 1977 Paul was always the best neighbor you could wish for. He was always there if you needed him to be and we shared many stories and laughs until I moved in June 2011. Having both once worked at Singer-Link there never was a shortage of stories and memorable moments. He was very proud of all of you and loved your families. May your memories of all of the good times help you through this most difficult time. Miss you Paul. John

Dear Halupke family,
Paul was a fixture in the halls of Singer-Link. He was always a pleasure to work with and a smile to share.

Peace.
