Hi Lisa...So sorry to hear about Paul..Have not seen him in years but still consider him to be a great friend..Had some good times and many laughs while working with him at The Sault and Detroit. One night while working together, and Paul driving, we took a drive to Pickford (my home town). In short order we wrote about 5-6 traffic tickets. I told Paul to get this car out of Town before I get kicked out permanently by the towns people. Of course he just laughed that great laugh of his and we left. He was a great guy and my prayers are with you. DEAN

I will never forget the great memories you gave me as a child, you gave me a friend for life - Michele who I cherish to this day! We may be miles apart but you'd never know it. You always believed what was right and held to your ground. You made us laugh and cry and always showed us the right path. Driving back from Oscoda signing in the car, - you always said Michele had the lips and Shelly had the eyes :) May you rest in peace and watch over Mrs. M and Michele!
