I'm so sorry to hear about Paul passing away. I have nothing but great memories of our time together. We played countless hours of football. I would pretend I was John Elway and he would be Vance Johnson. We won a ton of two on two football games at Washington school. I just remember how aggressive he was and how he would dive across blacktop to catch my bad passes. I lost track of how many times my crummy passes sent him to the ER for stitches. Paul was tough as nails and would be back out there later in the day diving on blacktop to make a catch.
We had a great run in baseball too. We all had so much fun on those teams coached by Mr. Tomko.
Paul was an incredible athlete and a great person. He'll truly be missed.
I send along my best to the entire family.
