Paul, Judy and I are praying for you and will be with you in spirit during your Memorial Service tonight. Our hearts are broken. I thank God we had the chance to visit one more time in R.I. last fall, and that we talked on the phone shortly before I went in for kidney surgery. At least you didn't know the full repercussions of what that surgery would entail. I thought it stood as my worst ordeal in life, until Judy told me in the hospital that you had died.

We're forever grateful to Paul Jr. and family for all that has been done for your final arrangements. I hope to be well enough to come to R.I. soon to pay our respects and visit with your family and friends.

We're grateful to "Ski" and all your friends, and to the wonderful folks at Cup 'N Saucer for their many acts of kindness toward you and the touching special memorial at Table 30. God bless all of you. Rest in Peace, Paul.

Dennis & Judy Mobrice, Holts Summit, Mo.

I knew Paul a short time but he made quite a difference in my life. As he would come to breakfast each morning at cup n saucer he always had a good joke or a laugh up his sleeve that always brightened my day. RIP Paul you will be missed!

My sincerest condolences to Paul's son, Paul D., his brother Dennis, and all of Paul's family and friends.

Paul and I met at Tom's restaurant about 6 years ago, we became good friends because of our common interest in marksmanship.

Paul was my guest many times at the Wallum Lake Rod & Gun Club, which he enjoyed so much.

When we finished shooting we indulged in our other favorite activity, having some hot wieners and root beer at the A&W on Rt. 44.

We also enjoyed breakfast at the Cup & Saucer Restaurant several times each week.

Whenever I go shooting again, have some hot wieners, eat at Cup & Saucer, or the A&W, I'll remember you good buddy.

I will miss our camaraderie my good friend, and you will also be missed by all who new you.

May God Bless You Paul, Rest In Peace.
