With deepest sympathy to Ruth and Family,
I was just a Youngin when I first met Paul he was a great friend of my parents and me. I remember Years of seasonal camping at Mountain Springs in Shartlesville, PA. And the numerous Blues fishing and flounder fishing Out of Barnegat or Toms River New Jersey. And there was even a point in my life that I worked for Paul at miracle water co. to deliver softener salt we would often sit and chat about the years with his mother Arlene and he helped guide me through life as well. He was there during the passing of both my parents and my wedding now I guess their all together now. Sorry I lost touch with you my friend. Again Ruth I am sorry for you loss.

Dear Ruth and Family,
My father Ralph Dromie and I would like to express our sincere condolences to you on the passing of Paul. Dad really liked having Paul as his roommate at Kutztown Manor and misses him. They got along great and Dad really enjoyed sharing the room with him.
I would also like to thank you for your friendship and generosity towards my Dad. He is still raving over the Frank picture and just loves the book. Your kindness has touched his life greatly.
In sympathy,
Karen Becker

Paul we lost contact after your business closed. You drove your Mom's
Cadillac in my wedding 1968. I have video of that day. You are not physically here anymore but your spirit lives on and we all see each other one day.
Your cousin
