My condolences to all of his family whom he loved deeply. He could start a conversation with anyone, was extremely generous, knew a little bit of something about everything and was unaffected by grudges.
I'm thankful I got to know him, fortunate to share a beer and enjoy his company. Goodbye Uncle Paul I'll miss you.
