How sad to see Paul's name listed under obituaries in yesterday's paper. I don't apply the word often, but 'mentor' is the first one that came to mind. We worked together not long after I finished college. He was kind, patient, and so talented. Wishing his family and everyone close to him the strength they need to get through this time and increasing happiness with each passing day. He likely affected more people than he realized.

Our hearts go out to Rosalia, the kids, Meme, and the entire Strasser family. This is a devastating loss for all. Personally, I lost my two best friends this month - Paul and my dog, Elroy. The memories of us three hiking at the state park, along with all other memories, will forever live in my heart.
All of our love,
Dave and Betsy
