I knew Paul from attending the First Baptist Church, he was always smiling and so very personable and kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. Paul Adams was a vital part of Moravain Village Of Bethlehem. He would trasport residents to and from meals. He would take residents to the hairdressor. He also helped with passing out snacks at 8pm nightly on 3-11 shift. Always smiling, always lending a hand, and always very good at telling good stories. Paul traveled the world and we all at Moravain have many, many great memories of Paul ! Paul will be missed, but will remain in all of our hearts forever.
