Met Paul at Minot Air Force Base when we reported for missile crew duty. We fought winter snows, endured alert schedules, and class room work. His sense of humor made it easier to put up with those long hours. He was a great friend.

I am so thankful that I got to reconnect with my great uncle in 2019! I enjoyed our conversations and especially stories of my great Aunt Betty and how they met, and stories of my mawmaw Martha, Betty’s sister. I will definitely miss him and his witty humor. Rest in peace uncle PD. Tell my mom, mawmaw and Aunt Betty I said hi and I miss them. Until we meet again on the streets of gold watch over your family from above.

Marti, we loved your Dad, as we got to be with him on several occasions over the past 20 years, at times like the Eagle Scout celebrations. He was always fun and loved being with his family. You will all miss him, but we know you'll keep his memory alive with wonderful stories and photos of trips and events. May the Lord bring you all comfort and strength. With love, Alex and Char

Paul and I joked a bit, at church. I called him 'daddy' because he told me once that he had a daughter my age. Paul, I missed you when you moved from Prattville, Alabama, and now I miss you knowing that you have left this earthly dimension. However, I know where you are and I look forward to seeing you in heaven. All my love to you, sweet friend.

PD was a kind and wonderful man. Loved by all who knew him. His smile was contagious and his words of love were heard by all who were near him. He was a great lector and supporter at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Prattville, Alabama. May the perpetual light shine on this good man.

PD was the Greatest Brother in law. As a young girl I spend every summer with Betty and PD. After I married they would come to town with the kids wonderful time. Later years they would come to Ohio. Betty would be at Mom and Dads and PD would stay with Ron and I. Had a lot of wonderful times. We loved him and will miss him. He and Betty raised six great children. RIP PD.
