Forever in our Drew Wellness Hearts

Paul was dedicated to his exercise routine with Bert and came to his group workouts practically every evening at the Drew Wellness Center. He took naps on the Tricep machine and we would mess with him a little because he had a great personality and loved to joke around. We were all secretly just happy he was here because he was one of the highlights of our day. The evenings won't be the same without him. We will keep our dear friend Paul's memory alive: Life is like a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must KEEP MOVING! ~Albert Einstein #KeepMovingForPaul

I just learned of Paul's passing. I have many fond memories of Paul during my youth. He worked for my Dad, Y.W. Hooker in the plumbing business before obtaining his Master license. During the summer months, I often was assigned as Paul's helper on the truck. I learned much from him, and not just in plumbing. He was a good man. I have thought about him often. He will be missed but we will all see each other again. God Bless.
