I am so very sorry for your loss.
Brotherhood
Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forgive the ones who don't, just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands, those of you who served in Viet Nam and all WARS know this.
If it changes your life, let it.
Take a few minutes to think before you act when you're mad.
Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy,
He just promised it would be worth it.
I LOVE YA BROTHER!!!
To the cool men that have touched my life.
Here's to you!!
I was never a hero, but I am thankful I served among them.
A real Brother walks with you
when the rest of the world walks on you.

Paul was a good man and great neighbor who had a sharp wit and enjoyed life. I will miss our Penn State chats and sitting in the sun with him "managing" the Holly House.
