Janet. I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I work with Paul a Wards back in the 80 to 86. I live in Florida now. I didn't know anything about it. Paul and I were pretty close back then, we even took on a few extra jobs after hours. He was a great Man and I called him my friend.
I know Paul will be missed! My heart goes out to you and the boys.
Prayers for you all.
