I do not have a childhood memory that does not have Paul and Sharon in it. I think sometimes I spent more time at their house than I did my own. Sharon/Missy – I have you all in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Sharon, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
We are so very sorry for the loss of Paul. He was a wonderful man. Prayers for you all.
God Bless

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY
So sorry to hear this. He was always so nice. Our condolences to all the family.
One of the hardest working men I have ever known. And he was an even better family man. Prayers go out to his family.
I love you, Paul. I’ve always loved you.
Paul was simply the best. Great guy. So very nice.
Very fortunate that I got to know him and work with him for many years.
I’ll never forget the time we were riding from the shop back to the yard in a pickup truck.
Paul and I were passengers being driven by a very wild individual, who was driving us around like he thought we were in a race.
Richie asked Paul if he was alright?
Without missing a beat, Paul said, “if you can drive it, I can ride it.”
I really liked Paul’s style.
I’m a much better person for having the chance to know paul
