I first met Paul when I started working for the State in 1995. Paul took me under his wing and was a great deal of help in getting me started. It was a shock to here of his of his passing. I will always remember Paul as a good and decent man who was always helpful to others. He will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

Paul will forever be in my mind and my heart. He believed in me at scout camp when others didn't. He was all about life and living it to the fullest, with a little humor along the way. I wish everyone had a chance to know Paul. I will miss you, until the day comes for us to meet again. God bless you Paul, and your family.

Paul was a good man. He was my beloved brother and I will miss him desperately. I loved him...I believe in him...and I will always remember the fun that we had. He was my friend, my mentor, my listening ear. He made so many children happy with his silliness and he loved seeing the anticipation on their faces as he did magic tricks. The world is a much sadder place with you gone. Rest with Jesus, my love.
