Uncle Paul will be missed by so many. Over the years Dad always had a story about him and Uncle Paul. I remember when I would talk to Uncle Paul I was so amazed at how much he and Dad sounded so much alike. It was actually uncanny. I only wish I knew him better. He will be missed by all of us who loved him so much. I know the Lord is taking good care of him and he is waiting to meet up with us one day. God Bless you Uncle Paul. Love and Prayers to all.

Paul was such a unique person with a joke for anyone who would listen! He was not only a loyal customer at our camera shop, but a wonderful friend. We will always remember that little twinkle in his eye and that special smile for everyone. Sincerely,
Janet & Jim

I just learned of Paul's passing from a friend at WKPT. I worked with Wayne & Paul during the 1970's. Wayne & I were in our twenties, and Paul was probably in his late 40's early 50's. He was always one that you could count on to make you smile on a good day or a bad one. I'm very sorry for your loss, Paul was a good guy and will, I'm sure be missed by his family & friends.
