The kids and i will always remember our trips around the lake with paulie. He would tell me about every house and if he didnt know he'd make up a good story for us:-) The kids loved jumping off the boat when paul would stop in the middle of the lake. I dont know who laughed more paul or the kids. Thank you for all of those memories and i promise to wave at everyone each time i am out on the lake. My condolences to the entire family. Xoxoxo Kathy & kids (PQL)
