I will always remember Paul for educating a young engineer (20 years ago) in the art of subsurface exploration. I have never forgot his definition of soil and dirt. I have been in the subsurface exploration field for over 20 years, and I still refer to Paul as the best driller I have ever known. He taught me a lot. I pass along my sincere condolences to his family.

I will always remember the numerous games that you taught me over the years. You were like a surrogate grandpa to me and I looked forward Christmas Eve every year knowing that I got to come over and spend time with you and Mrs.Libby. Now that I don't have you here I don't know who is going to reteach me the "Johnny Oops!" game every year.I will also miss my gag presents. Now that you're gone how am I going to get my school supplies. I love you and miss you dearly "Pop".

We will always remember "Libby" fondly! He was the absolute best joke teller we ever knew. He was a wonderful "WAVE" maker for our children, a great friend and long time neighbor. Paul will be missed yet live on in our hearts with all of our good memories or the shared FUN times we had together!

I have thought of you often over the years and it brings nothing but positive, kind and warm memories and that is as good as it gets!!! Love and hugs to Laurie and Mrs. Libby as your passing is such a great loss. May you all find peace.
