I'm saddened to hear of Paul's death. He was a wonderful man that I came to know through the Fallsburg Fishing & Boating Club. We served together on the Board of Directors for many years. Paul was the President of this club for approximately 30 years. He was a tireless advocate for the club and was completely dedicated to preserving its historical persona. Those who followed him owe this man a great debt of gratitude for his efforts and hard work. We remained friends after he left the club, although to my regret, we did not have much contact this last year and a half. We are away at this time, but he is in our thoughts and prayers. Paul was so much in love with his wife and I just believe that they are once again together. A very good man has passed from our lives. My wife and I will not forget you, Paul.

Dear Paula and family,

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the recent passing of a great man, your DAD!

Paul and I worked together at County National Bank, and its many successors, and I learned a lot from him that helped me, through the years, in my banking career. He was a well respected professional in his field.

Many times, before bank meetings, we would talk about non-banking subjects and he was surprised to learn that you and I graduated together, from Valley Central, and that your sister and my brother graduated in the same class.

Be assured that Paul is resting now in the loving arms of the Lord and that one day you will be reunited with him in paradise. God bless!
