My childhood was spent across the street on Treva Road from the Canter Family. It was a joy to have had the opportunity to know and love Paul and June. My heart is so heavy for their family. There was never a finer man than Mr. Canter.

I am so very sorry to learn of Paul's passing. I worked with him for a long time at Diebold in Richmond and he was such a nice man and had a wonderful sense of humor. Always ready with a joke and a great smile! Prayers and sympathy for his family. He will be missed. May the light of God shine on Paul for all eternity.
