Very sad to read about Paul's passing, I worked with him for many years at Riley. Paul was a very knowledgeable person, who always had time to share it. I known it is a very difficult time for the family.

Sue, So sorry to hear about your Dad. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your Mom and family. Although it's been over 40 years since we hung out together, I have fond memories of that carefree time.

Aunt Gerri,
So sad to learn of Uncle Paul's passing - wish we could be there for you during this sad time - I will always think of Fiske St and Grandpa Seibold's radio in the dining room, where he followed all the news of the war in the Pacific while his son was in harm's way.
Thinking of you,
Karen & Jim Detch
Bullville, NY.

Mrs. Seibold, Sue, Chico, Jane and David, know that I am remembering back 40 years ago when I spent most of my days at your home (that kept me and Sue out of trouble!) The Cape? that's another chapter, sorry Mr. Seibold! I can still hear in my mind, the silly laughter of Mr. Seibold who would always run down cellar or outside when the estrogen got to heavy in the house! My heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this sad time. Chris Trainor Hughes
