I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was such a joy to talk with and catch up with on how are kids are doing after high school. Paul would always take the time to share a funny story or a kind thought with me. I appreciated his friendship and he will be missed.

Never finer a man walked the earth. We recently had an opportunity to touch base with Paul at Jane’s retirement party. It was as if we spoke the week before as opposed to the few years when we actually did. He was a friend to all. Our thoughts go out to all in family.
