I was deeply saddened to learn about Paul’s death and I would like to express my sympathy to the Jackson family on behalf of the Scruggs family. Our family has known Paul Junior and family since Floyd Terrace days; we were neighbors, playmates, schoolmates. Paul was a very loving person, truly you will be missed my brother.

I first met Paul in 1966 at a PG&E training school. We later worked together in the Redwood City, San Mateo area for some great years. His brother Eldwin worked with us for a while in Redwood City. Many great fun times were had back in the day. I always tried to contact him if I was in the area where he was working and send him the same message, he always knew who it was from. He will be missed by all. Good thoughts to his family.

I met "Paul Jr." when I moved to Vallejo 27 years ago. He and his family were friends of my husband and we all became very close. From the first day we met to this day I have to say he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He would do anything for his friends, any time of the day, and did not want reciprocation. He loved to bowl and go fishing but most of all he loved his family. May God bless your kind, caring, giving soul Paul Jr. You will be missed.

Paul's passing brings to an end a long friendship from PG&E. Paul was a very colorful guy that was everybodys friend. He loved the Green Sheet every day, the bowlin alley, and baseball. We played on baseball teams together, and enjoyed a lot of parties.
At work he was agile as a cat on a pole and we all learned from him.
Peace be with him and his family
