I worked with Paul briefly at Champion Spark Plug in the early '80s. Despite our age difference and his senior status in the organization, he always treated me with great respect and fondness. I am very sorry for your loss.

Glenda, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of the family. The two of you have always been so loving and caring to me throughout my whole life (even across the country). I will always remember playing tic-tac-toe with Mr. Boehk as a kid. One of my fondest memories of all time! He will be forever missed!
All My Love,

Glenda, our sincere condolences to you and your family. Paul was a favorite and we especially enjoyed the reunions over the years...particularly the great time we had on the the Rhein River Cruise.

Glenda and children....how very sad to hear of Paul's passing.
Paul and I went through grade school, together, as well as
high school. In the 6th grade, the principal, who was also the 6th grade teacher, would have Paul and me go to the blackboard to do arithmetic problems (in competition) while he went to his office to do his principal work. I can't remember who won, but I do remember being at the blackboard with him and kids yelling out numbers. I was
interested in seeing that he followed numbers all his life.

Such a wonderful man. I enjoyed being with Paul and other class members at reunions. There aren't many classmates left, and it seems so strange. We had such a good class.

Sadness fills my heart...as another link to the past in gone.

Paul was a pivotal member of the USAF Flying Class 54F. He pulled us together for our first reunions and served as our treasurer for many years. He and Glenda were thr greatest of friends to us all!
