Thanks for all the fun memories Uncle Paul. We’ll miss your bright and famous “tooth pick “ smile!! You’re one of the great ones!! May God be with you ‘till we meet again!!
We loved Paul and Tam, they were a sweet couple and loving neighbors. They always welcomed our family, friends and neighbors in their home. Our kids loved them both as well. One thing we will always remember of Paul was that on Halloween he would always hand out full size cans of soda pop instead of candy. He was one of the favorites! We will miss him but will always recall the many years of memories we had with him, Tam and the girls. 💕
We were sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Paul and Tam were the best neighbors and had the prettiest yard in the neighborhood when we moved in. Paul always loved to talk about his red truck to Jeff and we enjoyed visiting with both of them. We hope you remember the good memories at this sad time.

I was absolutely devastated to hear that Paul had passed. I've been his home health care aid for a little over 2 years now that Paul has become family to me. I started visiting him around the same time that my father passed away which was also very devastating to me. Paul helped to fill an emptiness in my heart from missing my father. I think he helped me more than I helped him. He had a heart of gold and I'm going to miss him SO much. Every Thursday Friday and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. I will be thinking of him because these are the days that I came to visit him.
