Paul was such a special person in my life. I really enjoyed spending time with him & Aunt Dot. He always made me laugh & gave me some really great advice on life. The stories he told me, about his own life, were very helpful to me. I’m so sorry, I didn’t hear about his passing & funeral, until after it was over. But I’m sure Paul would have laughed it off, because he was just that way. He knew, in life, how much he meant to me. Rest in peace, Paul. You were a very good man.
Paul was a bright light in our lifes that will be missed. We so enjoyed the times he would be on his way to the post office in Century, see us outside and stop to talk for a while. He will be missed. Carl and Polly Gandy
