We were Paul's neighbors on 48th Street for 48 years. We had his children in school at Harding across the park. He instilled in them a love of learning. They always strived for excellence in our science and English classes. We did not know of his connection with Sig's model planes. Dick grew up there in Montezuma!

Paul was an amazing man! We shared a lot over the 38 years. He was always kind and loved his dearest Millie and loving family. He was very special to me and I will cherish my memories forever. He was retiring when I 1st cut his hair a Scott was in High school. As a new hairstylist I would have never guessed how special he would be to me. I´m so thankful that most of my career he enjoyed his retirement. It was a joy to go visit with him and Millie, especially these last years I was able to continue as his stylist when he was home bound. He showed me his workshop I always heard about and to see his airplanes he created. I´m sorry to
Miss his service this Saturday I´ll be working ((hugs to all the family)) celebrate Paul he touch a lot of lives throughout his 98 years!! God Bless you, Bev
