I had the pleasure of growing up directly across the street from Paul. From as far back as I can remember Paul was always up for a game of Risk, a ride on our bikes or simply exploring the woods behind his house. He was a loyal friend, my prayers for his family, he will be truly missed. Warmest Regards...

My sincere condolences to the Hearn family on the loss of Paul. Paul and I had a lot of good times hanging out on Grafton Hill, what seems like a lifetime ago. But good people are never forgotten. Paul was the best. May God speed his soul.

When the Peters family lived on Dallas St ,Paul was like a member of our family. Where we took Don ,Paul was with us .To the beach,Boy Scout camp and just to get ice cream. The Hearn family faced a lot of sorrow.Don had me speak to Paul on several occasions .The last time we spoke I told Paul I was sorry he did not have a father when.he was young. As sick as he was,he said to me that I was his father. My wife have cried just to rember his smiling face. All my children are very saddened by his passing.
